Dear All,

I have a hosting account with a hosting company, and I have an SQL database hosted with them. My problem is that every time I have to backup the database, or upload a backup to restore the database, I have to ask them to do it, and it could take 8 hours before they reply.

Is it possible to create some sort of script or SSIS package, to move the data from the server back and forth for example every day? I was thinking about the Import/Export option, however I am not aware if there is maybe something simpler than that.

Thanks for your help

Johann

You mean storing each days table data onto some snapshot like table?

You could use database maintainence wizard to schedule backup and restore of your db.
