SQL Server Database Copy Tool (originally from Codeplex)

Project Description

Copies a sql server database from one server to another by backing it up, copying the backup file to the destination server and restoring the database.

Copied from https://dbcopytool.codeplex.com/. This project deserves all the props and money! Give them praise!

You need at least one sql server :-) rights to access the backup directories and data directories of the sql server(s) over the network

Usage: Start the tool :-) go to the servers tab and configure your servers (servers are stored in config.xml)

go to the copy database tab copy your database(s)

...or use it as commandline tool. Just start it with the four parameters: from_server to_server from_database to_database (the servers must exist in the config file)

Example: dbcopytool.exe 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.2 MyDb MyDbCopy

report bugs and ideas :-)
