Is it possible to do object level backup in MSSQL?
For example make a backup of only one table.
Any tools?
Thanks in advance for your comments.

You can't do this with the BACKUP/RESTORE commands. However, you can perform a backup of a table by bcp'ing out the data to a file, generating the schema script and putting that into source control, SELECT * INTO BackupTableName FROM TableName, and various other ways. It just depends what the backup is intended for. Let us know and we'll point you down the right path.

You could use SQLLiteSpeed to take the backup and restore the single table.
