SQL2K8 R2 Backup and Restore.

  • A user requires out of hours backup and restore of a SQL 2008 R2 database on a regular basis. I could schedule a script to run but don't know what time this would be required. I also do not want to give the user access to the server therefore is there anything else that anyone can suggest that I could do or have implemented in their environment?

    I am looking into db_backupoperator permissions for the user on the said database but assume the user would require permissions to the backup folder on the server too?

    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Thank you.

  • Hi,

    In our environment all backups and restore are handled by DBAs.

    so, you should not be handling any permissions to the any for backup.

    If this is a scheduled backup then you can have a maintenance plan and

    have it scheduled per user requirement.

    Let me know if you need any more info....

    Thanks

    use an SSIS package and run it under the SQL Server agent
