Backing up the RentalPoint Database

Please Note: There is a difference between backing up a SQL Server database versus backing up a server.  

A backup of the server includes all the individual files and folders on the hard disk(s), which includes all the individual files that make up the SQL Server database.  

A backup of an SQL Server database is a single file that contains all the necessary information to recover the entire database.  This single file makes data recovery and migration to later releases of SQL Server easier and faster.
