Backup of a MS SQL 2000 DB

Hi

I'm not really a MS SQL Admin. I have only one
system in our house holding an MS SQL DB.

I need to made a backup of the DB.
Can someone tell me what is the cheapest way?
To buy Backup Exec is not an option.

And I can't shut down the service while the backup is
running...

Regards and thanks in advance

Use QUERY Analyzer and look up details BACKUP DATABASE

You'll want something like BACKUP DATABASE 'foo' to
disk='\\remoteserver\share1\backupfilename.bak'

If your database is in full recovery mode, make sure to do a log backup also
on a regular basis.

And you can schedule backups also which is a good idea.

And all this can be done while the server is on line.

And I can't shut down the service while the backup is

To be more specific, all this can ONLY be donw while the server is on
line.

True, but I was answering his specific question to that effect. I probably
should have been more clear in that regard.

Many thanks. That worked for me.
