Backup MSSQL db

thewolf

Regular Pleskian
Hi,

One of our clients needs to take regular snapshots of his production db on our Plesk server and restore it to his local development system (no Plesk on it) ...

Is there any way for the client to backup his MSSQL db through the Plesk web interface?

Thanks.
 
Plesk's backup it is a zip file. But it contains MSSQL database backups. If you'll rename Plesk's backup to .zip file and open it you will see MSSQL databases backups there (they are files with databasenames)
But I think that it is better to configure SQL server agent to perform that backups.
 
Yeah ..its better to use the EM to shedule the backup ...
