Back Up SQL Server Files Online

  • To back up data files only, simply select the files or folders to back up using the Backup view. If your files are deleted or damaged, simply select the files or folders to restore using the Restore tab in the Remote Data Backups software.
  • If SQL Server has its own backup and recovery software utility and you are not using Easy System Restore, we recommend you back up SQL Server to the hard drive using SQL Server's built-in backup software and then back up the SQL Server backup using Remote Data Backups. To restore the data, reverse this process.
  • To assure all program settings are backed up, we recommend that you back up the entire Windows system using the 10 MB or 30 MB online backup solution. If your files are deleted or damaged, simply restore the Windows system using the Windows Easy System Restore tab in the Remote Data Backups software.
