>I would like to find out your backup scheme if you are developing or have a system that is basically stand alone and have a SQL or MSDE backend.

I'm using Nigel Rivett's routine (http://www.nigelrivett.net/BackupAllDatabases.html). I've modified the code slightly - I think there was a typo. If you want I'll send you what I'm using.

I back up to the SQL directory on the hard drive and then use the Windows task scheduler and RoboCopy to copy files to our network where they are backed up by the LAN guys. (I couldn't do the SQL backup directly to the network because of Novell permissions.)
