DB Backup

  • Hey guys,

    I'm kinda new to SQL Server 2000 and want to know on a database backup, how do I only do a backup/restore on tables.  I don't want to do a full backup I just want the table data.  All the help is appreciated.

    Thanks

  • You cannot do inidividual object backup/recovery in sql 2000.

    You need to take full backups.

  • We can't take a backup for for particular table.

    If you want just copy and store it into the other database by using export or import

  • I think you can do that... here's something you can try and test out for yourself (and let us know if it works).

    Create a new filegroup.

    Move the table to that filegroup (create clustered index on the new filegroup using the drop existing option)

    Then take a backup of the filegroup.

    To test... restore that filegroup on another db (or using a test db as guinee pig), and see what happens. I'm sure there's something else invovled there, that just seems too easy ;).

    P.S. Make sure you change something in the DB after you take the backup... that way you'll know if it did work.

    Let us know how that worked for you... I'm curious to see how you can do that.
