Jason,
if you have a licence for both servers it is not difficult. You can use the GUI to look at the .sqb backup and go thru the screens specifying if this is a new database and wehere you want to put the DB files and what you want them called. If you only have one licence then there is a utility to take a Red gate backup and convert it to the native SQL backup.

Nigel,
I was hoping that this was part of 5.4. Please see that it can make it into 5.5 or would that be 6.0? Does you fix include the waittype MSQL_XP fix?

Thanks Eddie.
We had a situation where new external disks were added to a server but the hardware communicating with these disks was transferring the data at a lower rate than the disk arrays could handle. This was causing a particular SQLBackup 5.3 job to take many hours to perform a backup of a 100Gb database that included a VERIFY. I could see the MSQL_XP waittype while the job was running. At the time of raising this issue we did not know of the hardware problem so that's why I wondered if thw wait type was part of the problem or just a symptom. The hardware has now been replaced and the slow backup has sped up. I have no need to run with the trace flag now.
As I had heard that the waittype is fixed in 5.4 I expect that I might be an early adopter once it is released.
Thanks

Thanks Pete. I understand how SQLBackup works. I was just asking what version of SQLBackup Eddie had used his in his tests.
