Hi,
I need to backup a database and restore it on another server.
I have 2 very large tables with 10 years of data and I pretend to, before the backup, move those 2 tables data to some kind of archive and then do the backup/restore on the resulting smaller DB.
I'm planning to do the following
1 - copy those 2 tables data (every thing with more than 2 years) to a new database just for archive
2 - remove the copied data from its source tables
3 - backup source db
4 - move backup files to destination server and restore to new db
I'm thinking wright?
Is there any better way to do this kind of "archive"?
Any guide/advise?
Thanks you so much,
JD
