Backing Up DTS packages

I am looking for a way to back up local DTS packages. Are they stored in
msdb? Has anyone dealt with the backup issue for DTS packages?

I save them out to disk as .dts file and store them in Visual Source Safe.

|||Hi,
All the DTS packages will be stored in MSDB. So backing up the MSDB database
will be enough.

Backing up database over network

I am trying to get my database to backup to a network
path (\\myserver\backup\db.bak) instead of a local path.
But, unfortunately it is not working, I keep the message
that it cannot connect to the device or the device is
offline.
Here is my backup statement
BACKUP DATABASE test
TO DISK = 'c:\temp\test.bak'
WITH FORMAT,
NAME = 'Test Backup'
Any Ideas?The account that sqls erver runs under is the one that is used when backups
occur. So you need to ensure that this account has permissions to the
network share you are attempting to backup to. Chances are the account is
the local admin account which has no domain privileges.

The example you showed was not using UNC and was obviously not the real
code. It helps to show the actual code to alleviate any assumptions or the
possibility of simply a typo that doesn't get relayed with a simpler
example. So I assume from what you state you have logged on to the server
under the account sqls erver is running under and were able to copy a file
with the exact name of the backup to the UNC you want. If not then check to
ensure there isn't already a file with that name that is locked by some
other resource.

Backing up a database to a remote shared folder

We are using SQL 2K with sp4 on W2K servers but they are in windows workgroup
not domain. The SQL service is started by the local system account. I am
having a hard time trying to back up a database to a remote shared folder
located in another W2K server in the same windows workgroup. I believe it is
an authentication/permission issue. I am aware that SQL server looks at
network shared folder differently than the way Windows see but don't know
how to get around it under the workgroup setup. If it is under domain setup,
I have no problem.
Any help on this is very much appreciated.
Wingman
The account that SQL Server runs under must have permissions to that share.
Make sure you use UNC for the path and not a mapped drive.

|||Yep, I know about the UNC part but how do I assign the local account that run
SQL server to that share under the WorkGroup envirnoment. I am not very
familar with the Windows Workgroup setup. From the computer that I have the
shared folder, I can't see any user account from other computers. I believe
it is because of the Workgroup setup but then again it may be just my
inexperience in this area. Please advise.

Backing online database table data to local machine

I have an online SQL Server database provided by an ISP. I do not have
permission to create a backup device and I understand this is normal
practice.

I am not using Enterprise Manager to administer the online database.

I know I can back up the structure of the database using SQL
scripts.

My question is:

How do I back up on my own machine the data contained in the online
database tables I have created? If I were using Enterprise Manager I
could do it by downloading tables using the DTS facility but how can I
do it without Enterprise Manager?

Is there some work around which I have missed eg creating a csv file
of the data?

Best wishes for 2005 to all those helpful people in this newsgroup!

You can take a proper backup from to your own machine, as the SQL
Server machine is not likely to have access to your disks, and anyway
I don't think network backups are not supported. But you seem to understand
that anyway, since you mention DTS.

DTS can be run with dtsrun from the command-line, but I assume that
you need Enterprise Manager to create the packages. Then again, I don't
know DTS, so don't take it from me.

But there is BCP. Run this query:

SELECT 'BCP ' + db_name() + '..' + name + ' out ' + name + '.bcp ' +
'-S Server -n -U usr -P pw'
FROM sysobjects
WHERE type = 'U'
AND objectproperty(id, 'IsMSShipped') = 0

The cut and paste that result into a BAT file that you run.

Here I have specified -n which means native format. You can use -c instead
to get character format, with tab delimiting columns and newline delimiting
lines. You can also specify other delimiters.

Backend generate and save the report to local drive?

Hi,
Any ideas on how to automatically generate and save the report to local
server drive backend when user click on certain link on the application?
The user do not have to render and display the report in frontend or click
on save button when prompted? The system should not prompt user for any
action instead.
Thanks in advance for any suggestion.Hi,
you can call the WebService of reporting Services (with optional
additional parameters, get the byte[] from the render method and save
this in a file on your network share of choice. That can all happen
behind the scenes and in addition if you want to asynchronously.
HTH, Jens K. Suessmeyer.

Auto-print a report in 'local' mode?

Hello,
Is there a way to auto-print a report without any user interaction?
We're using 'local' mode with the reports embedded in the application;
there is there is no reporting server.
At the moment, a button on a form opens another form which contains a
ReportViewer control. This report viewer control is populated with a
report at runtime, and the report is displayed to the user. Very nice.
Now, the requirement is for that button to automatically 'print' the
report. (Thus saving the user the manual process). Is this possible?
I know there has to be some way to tell it which printer to print to.
Done some searching and there doesn't seem to be an easy answer. There
are ways, but they involve a reporting server to be present.
Any hints or ideas would be great.
Thanks,

Thanks for the info, but this seems to be for 2000 (I'm using RS
2005). Not only that, this is using the 'server' mode, whereas we're
using 'local' mode.
Any other ideas?
Cheers heaps...
