Newbie here. I have a SQL Server (for data warehouse) which was created by the restore of .BAK file & we get hourly feed of TXN log files from our vendor where the real production database is hosted. The restored database (for data warehouse) is in Standby / Read Only mode. How can I take the backup of this database? When I right click on Database, Tasks, the Backup option is greyed out.

Thanks,
Dinesh.

I believe you have to do it via the BACKUP command.
