SQL BACKUP

How do I backup my MS SQL Server 2000 database using Enterprise Manager?

The following article explains how to backup your MS SQL Server 2000 database using Enterprise Manager. The backup can then be used at a later date to restore the database if information is lost. The backup file needs to have a .bak file extension.

Note: If your database is stored on HostMySite's shared MS SQL server, the backup file will be created on the HostMySite server and not on your local machine. If you need a copy of the backup file, please contact support and they can provide you a copy of the backup file.

To backup your MS SQL Server 2000 database, please follow these steps:

  1. Open Enterprise Manager.
  2. Connect to your MS SQL Server 2000 database.
  3. Right-click your database, expand All Tasks and select Backup Database.
  4. Under Backup, select Database - complete.
  5. Under Destination, click Add.
  6. Enter the path and file name for the backup file.
  7. Click OK.
  8. Review the settings for the backup.
  9. Click OK to begin the backup.
