Author Using Pipes for backing up.
Robinson

2006-11-16, 7:14 pm

Hi,

I am currently coding the backup/restore methods for our software and would
like the give a "zip" option to the user. This I think would be most easily
achieved using an existing compression program and to feed it with a pipe
from SQL Server (SQL Server 2005 Express Edition). Can anyone point me
towards a tutorial or information on registering/using a pipe to backup and
restore one or more databases?

Much appreciated,


Robin
