backup help: French OS and French SQL Server 2000 msde
-
I am trying to help a friend that has a client that bought a system with a French OS (xp server) and French SQL Server 2000. The French company is now out of business. This company processes apples in the state of NY. I have been able to connect to the SQL Server with US- Enterprise manager. I can see objects and basic functionality. I have been able to do backups through the GUI and SQL Analyzer.
Problem: (besides not knowing French) I can not find a way to script the jobs/backups. Maintenance jobs fail when I try to create them. It rejects jobs when I try to create a job and script the backups.
I think there is isql, but have not found a way to utilize this.
If anyone knows how to get French Enterprise Manager, or knows how to script around this, let me know.
I was able to create an account called DBA with SysAdmin rights.
Thanks,
Joseph

Y, I used to do french support for MS and you've definitely got a lang problem here.
MSDN has different langs posted, but barring that, here's the french download for sql eval...

Can I run this enterprise manager on an English OS?
Thanks,

it's always best not to mix langs if you can help it. Way back when... when I was actually doing french support you really couldn't mix langs like that... though I did get away with it in a couple simple apps.
The honest answer is I just don't know. Try it, but backup your box first in case it does something bad. Otherwise, load the french OS in vmware or something like that.
