Hi,

In order to backup by DTS packages, currently I individually open each DTS package in Design mode and then save them as Structured Storage File. Since I have a # of DTS packages and due to the current nature of the work these are changed frequently therefore this backing activity takes time.

Is there a simpler solution via which I canbackup all my DTS packages?

Many TIA.

I found a third party tool that I'm currently testing locally. DTS backup 2000. check it out on this site:

Perhaps this is what you're looking for?

Good luck,
Bart.

Thanks. I'll check out the site. I guess the solution lies only in a 3rd party SW? :(

Yes backing up the msdb database is the best way since it gets everything from msdb and not just DTS packages. Or:

DTSBackup does work quite well, though.
