I have a database in Sql Server 2005. The database is configured to be backed up as Full (sunday) and Differential (weeknights) on a mediaset at a particular path.
When I run the command:
BACKUP DATABASE COB
TO DISK = ’C:BackupsCOB.bak’
WITH COPY_ONLY;
to backup the database to a different path, does that break the pre-configured backup sequence. I know that usually people run the copy_only backup without changing the backup sequence, but I was unsure what would happen if I changed the path. Still Learning. Any help will be much appreciated!

When you run a backup
with copy_only
, it does not interfere with the full/differential backup sequence.You can think of a
with copy_only
backup as it never happened.
