Issue
The "Log Backup" tab doesn't appear under the "properties" dialogue window for Vista Server.
Environment
Vista 4.3 or newer
Vista 5.X.X
Cause
The "Log backup" tab is not displayed when the option "Custom" is selected in TAC Vista server setup, under the SQL Server tab.
As stated in the help file for Tac Vista Server setup: "When you select Custom SQL configuration, the integrated log database backup/restore functions in TAC Vista will be disabled". This means that a backup will have to be carried out in SQL Studio (Express).
Resolution
1. Download and install SQL management studio express from Microsoft website.
2. Start the program and find the database taclogdata (or the name you have chosen for the database in TAC Vista server setup).
3. Right-click on the database; select "Tasks" and then "Backup".
4. In the dialogue window that appears, check the details and select an appropriate destination for the backup file.
5. Click "OK". The SQL database should now be backed up.
