If you have the space on the SQL server, use MS' built in feature to back it up locally, then back it with TSM and delete it.

We can't afford to by any more licenses of the TDP. I realize there is an SC.EXE program that can be used to shut-down and start the SQL process. Any help would be appreciated. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Zoltan Forray Virginia Commonwealth University - University Computing Center e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - voice: 804-828-4807
