Sandbox page for taking notes for later publication on the subject There are a wealth of pages on the web about this process, but want to do one that works very specifically for Dragon Age toolset users. Step by step with pictures etc.
Note: Instructions generally refer to default installation locations. You may need to adjust to match your particular installation.

Here is a somewhat simpler set of instructions, complete with pictures, and the Dragon Age toolset default database. Save your work in the toolset, the close toolset. (not absolutely necessary, but why tempt fate?) Open SQL Server Management Studio Express Connect to the your server. Should come up by default as something like COMPUTERNAME\BWDATOOLSET In the left hand pane, open up the databases folder. You should see "bw_dragonage_content". Right click to bring up the context menu and select Tasks>>Backup
