Re: Individual database backup/restore

Davin, I had considered using either onunload or dbexport, but this is 24x7 database server and I do not have exclusive access to the database tables. Also, using onunload does not ensure consistency across database tables. I was looking for a third party product (if one exists) that will do the job but as yet have been unable to find one. Thanks anyway Kevin. In article <5ldr6p$5u4@cssun.mathcs.emory.edu>, Davin Harvey <Davin_Harv ey_@lendlease.com.au> writes > Kevin, > > onunload allows you to backup individual databases or tables!
