How to take table-level backup (dump) in MS SQL Server 2005/2008? John Sansom You cannot use the BACKUP DATABASE command to backup a single table, unless of course the table in question is allocated to it's own FILEGROUP . What you can do, as you have suggested is Export the table data to a CSV file. Now in order to get the definition of your table you can 'Script out' the CREATE TABLE script. You can do this within SQL Server Management Studio, by: right clicking Database > Tasks > Generate Script You can then select the table you wish to script out and also choose to include any associated

In iOS 4.0 Apple has redesigned the backup process. iTunes used to store a list of filenames associated with backup files in the Manifest.plist file, but in iOS 4.0 it has moved this information to a Manifest.mbdb You can see an example of this file by making a backup with your iOS 4.0 devices and looking in your ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup folder (Look inside the subfolders with the most recent date) Here's a screenshot of what the file looks like in a text editor: (source: supercrazyawesome.com ) How do I parse this into a Cocoa application so that I can update my (free)

We are using MySQL version 5.0 and most of the tables are InnoDB. We run replication to a slave server. We are thinking of backing up the MySQL log files on a daily basis. Questions Is there any other way of doing an incremental backup without using the log files? What are the best practices when doing incremental backups? AFAIK the only way of doing incremental backups is by using the binary-log. You have other options if you want to do full backups (InnoDB hotcopy), but incremental means that you need to log all transactions made. You need to ask yourself why you're backing up data. Since

The title is self explanatory. Is there a way of directly doing such kind of importing? Richard Harrison The .BAK files from SQL server are in Microsoft Tape Format (MTF) ref: http://www.fpns.net/willy/msbackup.htm The bak file will probably contain the LDF and MDF files that SQL server uses to store the database. You will need to use SQL server to extract these. SQL Server Express is free and will do the job. So, install SQL Server Express edition, and open the SQL Server Powershell. There execute sqlcmd -S <COMPUTERNAME>\SQLExpress (whilst logged in as administrator) then issue the following
