Backup Strategy

I am a newbie to SQL.
I am running SQL 2000 on a SBS 2003 R2 box. What is the best way to make
sure our databases are backed up in the event of a data loss or a crash?
Thanks,
Rich
The easiest way is to create a maintenance plan using the SQL Enterprise
Manager.
Or you can create jobs that use T-SQL statement to backup the databases.
Always make sure that the backup's are stored on offline storage, eg another
server or tapes.
The best way depends or your businessneeds and databasesize.

|||Hello,
You could use the maintenence wizard to create a backup plan and schedule
it. But I had lot of issues with maintenanceplans and so i went for TSQL
backup
script and schedule it using SQL Server agent.
Take a look into the below article:-
