SQL Pass Through to monitor backup and restore

1 New Member
Hello

I'm working on a project which involves ordering SQL Server 2000 and up to begin a backup via SPT.

BACKUP DATABASE myDB TO DISK = 'myfile.bak'

I'm using an asynchronous connection. I'd like to interrogate the database server to see if the backup is ongoing and how far along it's gone and to know if it's finished. I'll be wanting the same for the RESTORE.

I'm currently monitoring the increasing size of the file during the backup - but that's not helpful enough.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Mike
