What is 'asdb' and whether or not it should be backed up
|

| We developed a DB for our customer using MS Access and upsized it to
SQL Server. Our customer does daily back up of his DB and he asked me
whether or not 'asdb' should be backed up as well.
My question is: what is 'asdb' and whether or not it should be
backed up. Any information or web links will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark.

| Mark,
Are you using CA Brightstor for backups?

| Then has backend database 'asdb' is on the server. Is it using MS SQL as the
backend?

| Chris,
I am not sure I understand 100% your last posting. In any way, we use
SQL Server as the backend for the customer's database. And it seems
to me (but I am not sure) that 'asdb' is created by the backup software
that is appear to be CA Brightstor.
But we don't know the purposes of 'asdb' and don't know whether or
not we need to back it up as well.
Thanks.

| Brightstor came from Cheyenne software Arcserve. It could either have a
propriety database or MS SQL as its backend database to retain all
information about the servers/folders/file being backed up and to where.
If the asdb database is connected to your SQL Server then back it up as if
you need to run a restore using Brightstor and asdb was corrupted you would
not be able to do it.
