Ah - I didn't realise you were using SQL Express :(

You could still do this with a combination of Windows scheduled tasks and Jobs within SQL Server but it'd be pretty cludgy.. :( What you'd want to do would be doing transaction log backups rather than full database backups which would mean the file you needed to copy over was smaller and would take less time to restore.. that's what (unsurprisingly) log shipping does :)

Sorry - I forgot to say.. In terms of what you use, it depends on how you want to use the 'backup' database - is it to be used as a standby system, or are you just going to be doing reporting off the database or subsets of the data?

OK - logshipping would do exactly what you want. The only thing you need to bear in mind is that, AFAIK, logshipping will only be backing up the contents of the database. Any other things you change (such as adding new users, etc) will not come across in the logshipping - so any such changes that you make to one server, you'll need to do to the other.

Have you tried on the client PC that is connecting to the VPN...

Open Network Connections, Right click the VPN Network Adapter -> Properties -> Networking -> Double click Internet Protocol Version 4 - > Click Advanced -> Untick Use default gateway on remote network.

That was it :) found it after a quick help from google lol

.Problem im having now is

Cannot open backup device '\\server2\backups\test.bak'. Operating system error 5(error not found).

RESTORE FILELIST is terminating abnormally. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 3201)

Both backup folders have full write/read access to folders and i can manually copy those folders across.

    • Threads scales past half a billion users, brings deeper community and feed controls by Fiza Ali Meta has announced Threads crossing a major milestone of 500 million monthly active users. And, at the heart of this growth sits something simple: communities. From books to basketball, parenting to music, Threads says its rise has been powered by people clustering around shared interests and, in turn, giving the platform its identity. In response, the platform is expanding its Communities feature beyond beta and introducing a set of new tools designed to make participation easier and more engaging. A redesigned Communities Hub will now appear in the main navigation menu, allowing users to jump between groups without leaving their feed. Each community will also receive a distinct Community Icon, giving them clearer visual identity and making them easier to recognise across the platform. Then there’s Community Progress, which is a kind of live gauge showing how close a topic is to becoming a full-fledged community, alongside guidance on how users can contribute to its development. In addition, Meta is also expanding its Community Champions programme, recognising more users who actively contribute to community engagement. And then things go more local; Local Communities is already available in 100 countries, including North America, South America, Asia, and Europe but are now rolling out with native-language tags starting in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. The platform is also expanding Live Chats to more communities in the coming weeks, adding features such as co-hosting and the ability to quote moments directly into users’ feeds. Beyond communities, Meta is tightening the loop between users and their feeds. Earlier this year came "Dear Algo," a feature that lets people tell Threads what they want more or less of. Now it’s being paired with a new tool, "Your Algo." It allows people to adjust how frequently certain topics appear, with options lasting one, three, or seven days. Meta says these preferences remain private and can be managed alongside “Dear Algo” in a unified settings hub. The rollout begins in the US, Canada, UK, Australia, and New Zealand. Finally, the company says these changes are part of an ongoing effort to refine Threads based on user feedback and that further updates will continue as the platform evolves.
