Hello,

What is the best way to create a backup of an SQL 2005 database on my hosting server?

A side question:

I have an SQL database with 4 tables.
On one of the tables I added one new column and deleted another.

How can I download the data from the old database version I have on my server and place the data on the columns of the new table that still exist?

Thanks,
Miuel

Restore the last backup of your db before this change was done.But you will lose all changes you did in your db from that time till current.

Is it a dedicated server or a share server ?

Your hosting provider should have a backup plan for clients
