Since your evaluation has expired, you won't be able to use sqlcmd to back the database up either. You can however make a copy of the database files (.mdf) and (.ldf). With the two files, you will be able to attach the database to a SQL Server Express instance, which is a free download from Microsoft.

hi thiruhtech,

As you may tell from the original question, the sql server charel is using has expired, which means, he/she can not connect to the server using Management Studio. Consequently, the approach you suggested can not be used.

Thanks.
