Basically I have a windows form C# program that uses a SQL Server Express database to store data entered by the users. I want to add the ability for the user to be able to backup their database and then load a backup or another database into the programs database.
If someone could point me in the right direction like an article or tutorial that would be great, because I have hit a dead end.
Thanks
You have a few options to do this:
On the server directly call BACKUP DATABASE, RESTORE DATABASE commands.
Use SMO (SQL Server Management Objects) to perform the backup restore operations programatically. (Specifically this sample)
Use some third party utility/library.
