DTSBackup 2000


DTSBackup 2000 is a designed to help with both backup and transfer of DTS packages. Whilst it is not recommended as a substitute for your normal file and database backup routines, it is an additional layer of protection, with the benefit of package level granularity. See the article Backing Up Packages for additional information.

Whilst the name is backup, it is most frequently recommend as a tool to transfer packages between servers, either directly or via a file stage.
This version of DTSBackup provides full support for Microsoft SQL Server 2000. New features introduced in this version of DTSBackup include a new DTSBackup file format and direct transfer of packages between SQL Servers. These methods do not suffer the loss of layout information encountered when using the DTS object model.
Limited support for password protected packages is also included as well as more detailed progress information and errors encountered during a transfer.
There are now two individual executables, one for manual transfer with the improved user interface, and a separate command line executable which can be installed on its own.
Full documentation is provided, so to find out more download it and give it a try.
