Is the new COPY_ONLY functionality for SQL2005 available in SQB5.2? Thanks

    Yes, the COPY_ONLY keyword was introduced in SQL Backup 5.0, and is used in the same way as it would be in a native backup in SQL Server 2005.

    Would adding it after the existing WITH statement like below work okay?

    EXECUTE master..sqlbackup N'-SQL "BACKUP DATABASE [Test] TO DISK = ''W:\Test\<database>\<AUTO>.sqb'' WITH COMPRESSION = 2, THREADCOUNT = 4, COPY_ONLY"'

    Thanks,
    Keith

    Yes, that would be fine. Like SQL Server, it doesn't matter where you write the COPY_ONLY option, as long as it's after the WITH keyword.
