Hi,
I am in a situation where I am in need of setting up some form of SQL 2005 backups from one server to another.
Currently I take a back from server A and ftp it to Server B but this requires copying the entire database(s) twice a day and there are like 20 databases on server A which equate to many gigs of data and a huge load on the network.
What I really want to do is have a copy of each of the 20 databases on Server B setup in SQL 2005 (the same as server A) and then for SQL to just update the data on server B when a change is made to a database (table) on Server A.
I hope that made sense? If so could anyone tell me what my best options are so I can research them and setup a test environment? Really appreciate any help I get on this.
Many thanks
