Backup format

Hi,

Does anyone know of any documentation/web page that details SQL SERVER 7
backup format? Thanks.

As far as I'm aware, the backup format is not documented. There are
third party backup products that seem to be based on a knowledge of
the format (eg. restore a single object without restoring the whole
backup), but if so, I'd guess they were developed under NDA.
