I want to be able to back up my DNN database to a local file on my machine.  I'm launching a business that will involve many users updating their own pages and will be in deep doggy doo should something go wrong and I don't have a solid back up.  Aside from that, I just want a back up for when I'm testing things in case I totally screw up the database (which I've done once and thankfully recovered from without too much trouble).

Anyone know of a software or service that would accomplish a local back up?  I have a copy of Aqua Data Studio and know how to export a single table, but I don't know how to get the entire database exported.

Any input is greatly appreciated.

I assume you are using SQL server.   Below is a link that explains SQL server backup.  Do you have access to the SQL server?  If so you could set up a nightly backup and then set up a process that will copy it down you your local box.  If this is a hosting service maybe they are already doing backups of the server.  They should.

I've checked the link out and have used google and just about anything else I can find but I have no idea how to backup my database using SQL Eerver 2005 Express.  Microsoft has yet to issue an Enterprise Manager for the Express version (although supposedly they will soon(?)).  Does anyone have any suggestions in this case?

I don't know if this does backups or not but the "enterprise manager" for sql express is available here:
