Hi...

Here is my doubt,

   1. how can i transfer the data(Full Database) between two servers,
      the servers are in two different locations....

any some good ideas..

thanks

If you are trying to move the database 'People' from server a to server b do this:

On server B create a Database called People through enterprise manager then Backup the database.
Take the MDF and LDF files from server A and place them on Server B and now go and restore the database using the MDF and LDF files from server A and viola, the database will be the same across both servers. (The only thing you will have to make sure is that the Physical Path of the LDF and MDF files are correct)

thx for ur reply....

       I want to transfer the database and also maintain the stand-by server..., i think for that REPLICATION is there, but i dont no that it will work for two servers are in different locations...

tell me some other procedures like "replication"....

thanks...

Create a DTS package, though I have had bad luck with trying to copy Databases between servers using DTS process's.

thx for ur reply...

    I think In DTS Pkg's, there is no stand-by server property....

If source server was updated, the destination won't update till DTS pkg run.....

    thats y i am asking about any stand-by server mechanisms...


thanks...

I don't know what you mean by "stand-by" server but what you are talking is replication, plain and simple.

you can try log shipping to create standby server
