Comments on: Backing up SQL Server 2005 databases to a tape drive http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/itanswers/backing-up-sql-server-2005-databases-to-a-tape-drive/ Tue, 21 May 2013 17:44:06 +0000 hourly 1 By: opensystemsstorageguy http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/itanswers/backing-up-sql-server-2005-databases-to-a-tape-drive/#comment-57364 opensystemsstorageguy Tue, 28 Oct 2008 17:49:17 +0000 #comment-57364 I would like to point out that while this is an excellent answer and is very helpful, I believe that the original question mentioned a direct attached tape drive.

If he has a network backup program that can catch his database backup, this will work, but if not, he needs to know how to set up SQL to use a direct attached tape drive.
