MSDE

How about backup with MSDE?
is there some utility for it?
tnxYou can use the OSQL.EXE command with the appropiate BACKUP statement
to backup the database. The syntax of the command is explained in the
BOL of SQL Server.

MSDE

I've been tasked to find all servers running sql and msde. I've used the
sqlping utility. 1. Does anyone know if the sqlping utility will pick up
the msde? 2. How do I determine the license agreement for the instance of
sql running? 3. Is there a better way to do this?
ThanksHi

Try using SQLRecon
http://www.sqlsecurity.com/Tools/Fr...65/Default.aspx which will
try to use a number of ways to discover if SQL Server is present.
You may want to try your own tests by enabling/disabling the network
protocols on your MSDE instance.

msdb restore?

A terrible event has occurred. Our SQL Server 2000 database was attacked an
d
the master, msdb, etc was deleted. We used a utility to undelete those file
s
and have saved them. We had to reinstall Windows and SQL Server, but am
unable to replace the msdb. We have no backup so that isn't an option. Is
there a way to restore our DTS packages from the original msdb? Thanks.Did you try attaching it with a different name?

What *exactly* did you try? I see that you renamed the MDF file, I meant to
attach as a different database name.
If the file is corrupt, and you may be S.O.L. (this is what backups are
