XCOPY IN MS SQL SERVER

  • Is it possible to use xcopy in ms sql server? I want to backup my database locally then execute xcopy to automatically copy my backup file to remote server, then restore. How can i execute xcopy in ms sql?

  • Might I make an alternate suggestion, if you are trying for high availability or say a reporting server you might look at log shipping.

    Before I answer your question though, I'd like to understand WHAT you are trying to accomplish..
