Please, can anyone sort this out for me?
What is the difference between backup-restore and export-import data?
Thanks in advance :rolleyes:Export-Import uses DTS to transfer data directly between two databases. Backup dumps data to a file on a drive, and restore loads data from files.|||Thanks for anwering my post :)
So, in case of an emergency, If I do not have a backup, but I have exported data in an other database, I can import data again and everything would be ok?|||I would use backups because what the blinddude forgot to mention is that backups perserve the database objects as well (stored procedure, triggers, views, functions etc...) as well. If your environment is like mine, people are making changes all the time to this stuf.
Also, if you structure your disaster recovery correctly, you can achieve point in time recovery and minimize data loss.|||Well, you could import objects from a remote database as well, though transferring logins and permissions would be difficult.
The big reason (or one of them) for using backups is that you can maintain multiple backup files, allowing you to restore your database to any point in time, down to the minute if data corruption occurs. You cannot do this with import/export. DTS was not meant for data archiving or recoverability, and should not be used for such.|||Thanks for answering my post!
I think that I once used the Enterprise Manager and I was able to export Stored Procedures using the export data feature.
Isn t that possible on Management Studio?
