Backing it up
NSB utilizes a lot of the storage mechanisms that other C# enterprise applications would
normally utilize in the Microsoft world. If data and messages are stored in SQL Server,
then the organization's normal operations for backing up SQL Server would suffice. For
MSMQ, and all the services running in the Windows Server, a daily backup of the server it-
self will be advisable. Another method of backing up MSMQ is that all the messages in the
queues are in XML, and daily saving of messages through MSMQ tools to files could be
accomplished. Another method when sending a file to MSMQ is to save a copy of the mes-
sage to the disk; alternatively, you can turn on the auditing function and then create a con-
sole program with a daily task scheduler to save all the new audit messages of the day to
the disk. There are many different ways to do this using the NSB framework or other SQL
Server and MSMQ utilities. Because these are normal Microsoft C# processes, there are
many, many different ways to automate these tasks.
