Question : Sql Server Management Studio Express 2005 - Copy Database

Hi
How can I copy a database (db1) to a new database (db2( in Sql Server Management Studio Express 2005.

If I right click db1 and then Tasks I don't see Copy or Import/Export.

Any ideas?
Thanks

then you didnt back up the transaction log first as we stated higher up.

ok lets start again....

right click your db
select tasks
select back up
change back up type to transaction log, add a destination specific for the transaction log
go to options on left hand side and ensure truncate transaction check box is enabled
then hit ok.

once this has completed you then need to perform the shrink task i pointed out in last post
