View 1 RepliesLet us start with...yes I am new to SQL and really only a lightweight programmer. So I am assuming that I am doing something horribly wrong. I have spent days on the MS forums looking for an answer to no avail. So I am going to give as much info as possible. Application language is VBExpress 2010 and using SQLExpress 2008. The Database contain basic tables, no stored procs, no views, no diagrams. The Application has configured diagrams where one of the tables has inner joins... Tables origninally built in SSMS, but have been altered in VBE.

lately I've been experiencing LinqToSql + Sql Server Express 2005, and it was a great journey (muddy) anyway .... I'm at the point that I want to make a Backup/Restore for the database backup for SSE is as easy as a simple copy paste of the mdf file, but the problem that I can't copy the file while the server is using it, server doesn't let the file go untill the app is closed or after about 4 - 6 minutes of idle time,

heres my code for backup and restore
Private Sub BackUpDB(ByVal DestName As String)
If DestName.Length > 0 Then
CloseCon()[code]...
it always have an error something like this .... The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
before re-inventing the wheel, i want to ask you how i can do this best: I have a VB.Net application that uses a database connection to MS SQL Server 2005 (express version). There are users that input data with the application into the database lets say once to 2x an hour to once a minute. I want to do backups like this: Once a day or once a week (in the evening) a full backup, and whenever the program/user is idle for lets say 10 Minutes, i want to do an incremental backup (so that it does not take so long until he can work on after the backup).
There are no big security issues, just copying the backup data files to a network share / a different computer or server would be fine. i guess the average db size may be 300MB, but the daily increments about 1MB.

When user process the backup, it should take a backup in specified location. The backup file should be like "BKP_F_YYYYMMDDHHMMSEC" e.g. "BKP_F_20100406131523.BAK" (where 2010 = Year, 04 = Month, 06 = Date, 13 = HOur, 15 = Minute, 23 = Second). When user process a backup on next day the backup file name should be same as the above with the different date and time. And i want this backup should be encrypted with password so that other person cannot restore my database.
