| I have a production database that I would like to have copied over to a backup database on a separate server every evening. I don't want to mirror, I just want the databases synced up every evening.The servers are physically attached through a gigabit switch and the database is relatively small, so I don't think that speed will be an issue.Could someone point me to an article about the best way to accomplish this?Thanks.http://www.dynamicajax.com |

| If speed is not a issue and database is small, you can do transactional replication. google it and you will find lots of articles. |

| It's rather simple:1. Grab latest backup file (I believe I've got a blog on this)2. Copy file to remote server (use xcopy from xp_cmdshell)3.
