Home Forums SQL Server 2005 Backups send data in small size by backup is possible RE: send data in small size by backup is possible

  • You could split the backups to multiple files which would make smaller files. Although it does take a while, you can also zip the files which will give you about 80% compression. Be advised that the normal zip tools in windows won't handle files that big. You might want to try 7Zip or spend 60 bucks on WinZip Pro both of which come with command line versions.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
