  • How do you backup the databases? You CANNOT just 'copy' the .mdf and .ldf files to tape. It won't work...well, you can copy them, but they are unusable.

    There are two main ways to do backups.

    1. Use the SQL Server backup commands (some third-party backup software use these commands, but they require 'agents' - such as Veritas' Backup Exec Agent for SQL Server).

    2. Take the database offline (stop the SQL Server services or detach the db) and then backup the .mdf and .ldf files.
