Hi Michael,  
  
I’m not sure if there’s a way to get SQL Server to run a restore automatically… it’s not supported by the sqlmaint.exe tool that does the backups. If you do know of a way to perform a restore, please let us know and we’ll look at getting that added as another action.  
  
cheers,  
tate.

Hi Tate,

One suggestion... Could you use the SQL commands to do backup and restore? We have developed database scripts that will do the work.

I'd \*love\* to see SQL Database restore added to the tasks available.

Thanks,

Hi David - yep, that’s one way to do it I suppose… will add it to the todo list.
