Backup older partitions to alternative storage


hello,

i have db abou 20 cubes. number of partitions in these cubes vary between 4 , >20 partitions, depending on size of data inside these cubes.

since has been collecting data long time, move partitions has data older 18 months "tape" , leave partitions data newer 18 months. , when required, restore data tape if ever needs accessed.

what's best way this? have manually move .prt folders (and corresponding xmls) inside .cub/.det folder tape? if so, happens these partitions showing in ssis? there issues not thinking about? restore, need copy .prt folders?

thanks!


using sql server 2005 - planning upgrade 2008r2

hi rickkh,

as far know there no method backup/restore partition separately. post, concern long time process , storage issue. if so, i'd suggest set storagelocation to the large storage device partition holding data older 18 monthes , select "process incremental" option process partition, option process new data instead of entire data time should acceptable.

 

regards,
jerry
