I’m using a hosting service which allows me to backup my SQL 2008 database and download the BAK file via a web interface only–and I have access to the database via Management Studio. I can execute the backup command from Management Studio,but I don’t have rights to the path where the backups are located. Is there any way via SQL or script to pull down a full copy of the database–can I generate the script required to recreate the database using code? It’s only a few thousand records.
Thanks.
If you have access via Management Studio, why don’t you copy the hosted db on to your local machine (Tasks > Copy DB)?
Once it’s been restored to the local system, you can do whatever you want.
