This only works when the database is not in use though. <br /> The online backup will copy the entire database when it is in use. Then you can restore it when you get back to your development environment. <br /> If you are having trouble with the online backup/restore process I would like to discuss the problems you experienced. Please send the details to Advantage support and I would be happy to assist you.Chrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09097498077009855123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6658257106003248170.post-79587920989087415862010-02-17T13:27:56.969-07:002010-02-17T13:27:56.969-07:00What&#39;s the most efficient way to copy an entire database? <br /><br />For example, I want to copy a client&#39;s entire database and take back to my office server, for testing/development.<br /><br />In the past, I&#39;ve tried backup and restore with varying result. Seemed like I always had to jump through hoops.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Rick.Rickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04179982435437551023noreply@blogger.com
