Hi All,
The management wants to use MKS Toolkit 8.1 (MKS Software Inc.) to back up SQL Server databases. The vendor's document on backup is about system level backup. I wonder if any one has the experience on backing up a SQL Server database with this tool.
For example, we currently use osql utility via MS-DOS command to back up the databases, how can I convert the osql scripts into a MKS file or MKS executable?
I will be greatly appreciated if someone can advise me on this.
Regards,
Yichang

MKS Toolkit is a Unix sub-kernel which installs on your system, much the same way as Microsoft's Interix. I don't believe MKS Toolkit has any native interfaces with SQL Server. You could continue to run the osql or isql to generate the database backup, then use tar to compress and archive the backup file and move it as necessary. Of course, you can accomplish the same thing with the command-line version of WinZip as well.
