Soory, old terminology.

Yes Dumping a database means to take a backup

How do I do that
Use the backup database in the Enterprise manager and then use the restore.

That's one way.

You could also use T-SQL commands.

Check out BOL for the syntax, or check out Tara's blog

Books On-Line is BOL, Tara is a SQL guru that has a great blog with lots of useful info.

For copying DB's though, check this out also, it's useful:

"What does BOL mean?"

"Books OnLine" - the help files which come with SQL Client Tools

"[i]And who is Tara?[i/]"

If you tried to follow the link to "Weblogs" above you would get to:

http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/

and then

http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/
