This backup is designed to create image backups of any SQL database in real time. This is ideal for making real time backups to another Table Tracking database on the network so that you would always have a backup database that was up to date, to the last minute. This can require additional CPU resources so make sure you have checked that before you commit the process. Also, both Table Tracking databases need to be kept on the same version for them to be totally compatible. The backup process uses the BCP.EXE application to reduce the size of the files etc.
