This is built in, just setup a maintenance plan which will backup your DB's
and save the files for X number of days.

Hi,

MS SQL 2000 Data Transformation Services (DTS) has a FTP task.. Why not use 
that?

>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 30/06/2006 12:22 pm >>>
Has any one heard of or used any good automatic FTP backup solutions for SQL
database (2000 and 2005)?

we're looking for a program to install that backs up MS SQL server databases
on a nightly basis, and saves them for X number of days

Thanks

Carl

We use SyncBack 
(http://www.2brightsparks.com/syncback/syncback-hub.html) all over the 
place, an excellent tool. A typical use is to run a CF script to dump a 
DB into a spreadsheet and then FTP it off to the the side of the planet, 
or the exact opposite! We actually have both of those operations running 
on one clien'ts server :-)  More mundanely doing automated, scheduled 
backups regimes is just where it is at.

Note that copying MS SQL databases directly is not an easy task as they 
are often locked. The most economic way to manage it from a backup 
perspective is to schedule MS SQL to do a backup and then grab the 
backup file immediately afterwards.

HTH,
