First Question. Do you automate your Backups to Happen at a Specific Time ?
The Next thing you need to do is to text if you can place any File in the Share. Just Copy any File and paste it in your Share. if you have no Permission Problems then its Cool. Create a New Project create a cmd Project
and Look at this Articles to Create a cmd application to Copy Files

When you are Done , Create a Batch File and Tell it Execute this File, to Create a Batch File and Run the Batch File on the time you know your Backups will be Done. I was gonna say you must use Jobs in SQL, am not Sure if you know them .

thanks a lot for your help, I'll take a look at them.
Just one more question regarding sql server 2008.
If I want to access a sql server 2008 database remotely from a computer that resides on a different network, should I use SQL server management studio 2008 or can I just use sql server SQL management studio 2005?
I've been having a hard time connecting to the database remotely. I enabled remote connections and I added some rules to the firewall to open sql server ports but to no avail. I've done everything that could allow remote connection but failed to connect to it and when I telnet the server with its port number, the connections fails too.
Is it possible that maybe the network that the server belongs is blocking remote connections??
Any opinions are welcome?
Thanks in advance for all ur help

Well most of the Time i access SQL Servers within the same Network, or i remote Desktop. I suggest you look at you Antivirus. Turn it off and see if you can connect, if you can then consider add an Exeption for that Connection in your AV. Again the Errors you get when trying to connect to a Remote SQl Server might lead to a Solution. am not sure what Type of Errors you are Getting.

Here's the error I get
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.) (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
I'll check the antivirus.
Thanks a lot.

yes, I know, I've searched these pages but still no access.
I will try the antivirus thing and see if I can access it.
Also I think it's the network that has a problem.
Thanks a lot for all ur help.

i dont know whether your problem is solved or not but just allows remote connections and connect to your remote server , and take backup you can also create jobs/ schedules to do this and database mirroring is also an option , you can also config emails in case of a db backup failure , simple

thanks a lot, I did that using a job that takes a backup every 1 hour daily.
The problem is that FTP is blocked on the server so I can't transfer the backup file to another server.
Do you have any idea how to do that withour FTP?
thanks in advance

Hello,
I have a database which is being backed up on daily bases.
According to requirement, we need to remove records from database those are older than 30 days. This is working fine. But the problem is we are only able to delete old records from live database. This is to be noted that the same records has been already backed up before deleting.
Now, due to security purpose, we need to remove the same old records from backed up database too.
Restoring all old backups and and then deleting the records will not work as there are total 30 backups which contain the entry for the records to be deleted.
Can you please provide me some suggestions regarding this requirement.
Thanks.

Think about this; how can you delete records from a database (or any type of file) without loading that file to disk and accessing it via some sort of software?

Thanks,
I am googling for any option available.

Not able to find such method to read/modify a .bak file.
Thinking about any alternate solution. 
|
|
|
|
|
C# has no native methods to read/modify the contents of a backup of a database file that I'm aware of.
Restore the database, make the changes, write a new backup, replace the old backup with the new one.

That is one of the weirdest business models I have EVER heard of (in 20+ years of hearing some really screwy ideas). A backup is NOT a data storage tool it is a RECOVERY tool, deleting data from a backup defeats the purpose of taking a backup. It is a snapshot of the database as at WHEN IT WAS BACKED UP. Expecting a backup to reflect the current data is just wrong.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

Hi.
In MS Access we can set password for a database.
Can we set password for a SQL database(*.mdf)? if so, could you please say How?
Thanks in advance.

USE master
Go
EXEC sp_addlogin NewUser, password, dbName
Go
Where NewUser is the User Name, password is the user password, and dbName is the name of the database that you want to add the user to.
Or, if you are using Windows authentication, add users to roles in SSMS.

The above method is to add user login to the database.
But the OP is asking to set user id and password to the .MDF file as we can do it for MS Access files.
AFAIK, We cannot set user id and password to the database files(.MDF and .LDF).

I am putting together a web site that includes a SQL Server Express 2008 file. I use VWD 2008 Express and SQL Server Management Studio 2008. It is not designated as an Express version. I have a number of tables and have developed a view between two of them. I have a web page where I want to add, edit and delete records from the second table. The first table has two columns- a UID column and a use name column. The second table has a UID column that relates the two tables. The other columns are a Use name column, a DID column a NID column and a NID name column.
Why, when I click on the GridView tasks button and go to configure datasource, accept the connection string, go to the next form and check "specify columns from a table or view" and select K-Use K-UseUseSet, the name of the view I created, and check all the columns- UID, Use, DID, NID and Name, why when I check "advanced" do I find the items "Generate INSERT,UPDATE AND DELETE statements" and "Use optimistic concurrency" shaded out so I can't select them and therefore can't do the Edit and Delete commands in the Gridview?
Yes, I know the GRidView doesn't do adds. I have to use a DetailsView.
What am I missing?
Try not to give me any pages from MSFT. They are usually very optuse and talk in terms I don't understand.
My background is Access and I have had very good results with it. The file I am presently working on came from Access.
Specifically, I'd like to know what to click on to make this sort of scenario workable. Essentially, the question is how does one add, change and delete records when the table to be changed is a relation of two or more tables in a view?
I appreciate your help.
