And how do you grab all the indexes, including that new one you added last week?
And the free tables as well as the ones in the DBC.
And don't forget the captions and stored procedures in the DBC.
I mean, how hard can it be?
Selling utilities to programmers is hard, because they all COULD do
it. And after a dozen revisions or so, including some teed-off
customers, they will have ironed out most of the bugs.
Until the next one.
Or you could pay someone else to do it for you, mark it up and charge
it to the customer.
We created our own here by having a baseline data set on a backup server
and then zap each table and append from the live data. You then keep
all the database properties with the stored data. You have to update
the backup set if you make a structure change but it's not that difficult.
As Alan says, you don't know if it is a valid backup at a point in time
as it takes time to run, so you may have say stock transactions for a
new stock item but no new stock item. Having said this it is MUCH
better than no backup and you don't have to have everyone out to run it,
so it can be run several times during the day.
