I can backup smaller databases on to my local machine.
I have one database which fails. In this case 14 of the 20 tables are copied from online to my local 2008 server.
I then get a message 'this job failed - check the event log on the destination server for details'.
First question please, where is this event log so I can see what it has failed on. Possibly just timed out?
What might I be doing wrong please?

Usually you can access event viewer from Computer Management in the control panel, or start->run->compmgmt.msc.

The best place to start probably is the information in the event log.

What exactly do you mean by 'backup'? I ask, because SQL backups don't work table-by-table.

Hi friend
Servers are often dedicated, meaning that they perform no other tasks besides their server tasks. On multiprocessing operating systems, however, a single computer can execute several programs at once. A server in this case could refer to the program that is managing resources rather than the entire computer.
