Default Offline Backup - 04-21-2004 , 08:40 AM






Sorry, this on may be a very easy question for this group but I've to find
the right answer until weekend.. : ))

I should take offline backup at midnight after stopping sql server 2000.

But it's prohibited to stop by writing a task like "net stop MSSQLSERVER"

How can I stop my clustered Sql Server and take backup at midnights?

The whole idea of having a cluster is to have high availability. Why can't
you just do regular SQL Server backups?

Ok, that what clustering means..

But what should I do to stop my Sql Server?

I don't want it to work between some hours let's say..
How can this be done?

Shutting down passive server and stopping Sql Server from the active server
seems a bad solution. Any idea?

You can use cluster manager to bring the service offline.

How can I schedule such a job?

I want to bring Sql Server offline from cluster manager at midnight...

Should I stop cluster service?
