Backing up WMSDE

I am trying to backup WMSDE from Sequel Server tools and keep receiving the
following error. "sequel server does not exist or access denied". I also
noticed that when i log onto the server and the system tray application does
not even recognize the services on the server, but sharepoint works
completely fine. Any ideas?

WMSDE should be managed via SharePoint only, as it is a dedicated version of
MSDE modified for it's uses only...
as regard the exception you get, this is a general MDAC error that can be
troubleshooted via

hints..

How else can you back the database up? I believe the help file suggests
using sequel tools.

no, I'm not suggesting you have not to use SQL Server Client Tools, but you
have to be carefull... AFAIK, as
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/d...s/stsglos.mspx
states, you must be running SQL Server 2000 and not WMSDE to back up and
restore the entire configuration database and each content database on your
server..
but I'm not a SharePoint guy
perhaps you'll find better support on SharePoint newsgroup hierarchy..
I apologise..
