Not sure of all the functionality with SQL Express but what about scheduling a DB dump within SQL Express and then letting the standard TSM pick up the dumped files? Would be cheaper as well.....

TDP for DBs - does it support SQL Express? The interesting thing about that I found is that if the SQLServer service is running, the TSM client doesn't even "see" the MDF/LDF files for the active databases. I mean they just plain don't show up in the list with little X's that say they are excluded. You stop the service and the files are there. Had a similar experience with the latest Oracle and their VSS component. But they at least showed up in the QUERY INCLEXCL list as "operating system".

TDP for DBs - does it support SQL Express? Hi Lisa The only way I can think of would be to stop the SQL services and then backup the files up with the BA client. You may need to use an old version of the BA client though, as I've read reports that the 5.5 client excludes mdf and ldf files regardless of any includes in the dsm.opt file.

I am looking in the various and sundry locations of documentation for the TDP for DBs to see if it supports SQL Express....and can find nothing. Does anyone know if it works/ is supported? thanks! lisa
