Just curious. What is the SQL Server version/edition this site runs on? How big is the database?

We do run on SQL Server Express. The main database that holds the forums and articles is about 1.1 GB. There are also databases for the newsletter, advertising and the blogs. The blogs database is actually bigger than the main database. Mostly because they store every URL the site ever sees -- including the spammy URLs. I need to write a script to go clear those out one of these days.

How do you run database backups without SQL Agent?

OrcsWeb has a script they run that backs up the databases and copies them up to their server.

Or see Spirit's two articles about mimicing the SQL Agent with Service Broker?

Yeah, I saw those :) I think as long as Orcsweb is providing the script and it's working I'm just going to leave it running.
