If I wanted to move everything from my development
machine to another machine, what all needs to be moved.
My component database is stored on my development
machine, and I'm not sure how to migrate a MSSQL db.

Thanks,
Darren
 
Darren,

Here is an article on backing up and restoring MSDE databases using osql.

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;325003

The database name is MantisSQLDB_Data.mdf.

Make sure if you have created custom components that you back up their
repositories as well as the defaults located in Windows Embedded
Data\Repositories.

HTH,

Also, the MDF actually stores the location to the repositories, so if the
name of the machine is going to be different as well, then after you
reattach the MDF at the new machine, go to DBMGR under the Repositories Tab
and update the share locations - NOTE - uncheck the box for "copy files to
new location" if you've already moved the rep folders manually, this will
save a lot of time.

And also be sure to change the REP ROOT path by clicking the associated
button at the same tab mentioned above, delete the old rep root.
