    Backing up MSDE database

    If I want to make a backup of an MSDE datase, can I simply make a copy of the .mdf file? Or do I have to handle this in a different way?

    Thanx for advice,

    If you are using EM you can do a backup of the database you want to backup. It will store it as a .bak file. You can then do a restore of the file if needed. I don't think you can just copy the .mdf file though.
