• SQL Server Backuping up multiple databases at once

  I'm going through the docs and I can't find a way to backup multiple databases at once, rather than them individually.

Are you referring to using a maintanence plan or t-sql I assume a maintanence plan Regardless, you can't backup multiple db's in a single backup operation...what y ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System .net 1 assemblies references from .net 2 assemblies for analysis

  I'm using Using FxCop 1.35 to analyise assemblies built with v. 2 of the runtime. However, some of these assemblies reference v. 1 assemblies. I can not add these referenced assemblies as Targets as there is a framework mismatch (I was aiming to add them and disable their analysis so that FxCop could resolve the reference but not run analysis), so I have to resolve them manually when I run analysis.
