1)Which is a better back up option: nt backup or sql server back up in 2005.
2)Which tool would you use to create Forms and Reports using SQL server 2005. I have heard that third party tools like BO and Crystal Reports are good alternative. Any comments on this...
3) Does 2005 eval come with built in Reporting services. I dont see it after installation
Thanks for the feedback

For backup, use the native SQL backup to get a backup to disk. NtBackup can take it to tape if you need it.
For reports, I'd use Reporting Services. Not sure what Crystal gives you that this doesn't, other than another bill.
Not sure if it's in the eval. The installation has Reporting Services as an option for the normal version. Might not have checked it. Re-run setup and "add pieces"

1. What do you mean forms? For reporting?

The eval version as far as I can see (I have it installed on one machine) does NOT include reporting services. The developer edition does. My copy of the dev edition only cost $40 and change. Well worth it.

Forms for entering data and Reports for analysis
