Make copy of entire database

Zones: MS SQL DTS, SQL Server 2005

Tags: Microsoft, SQL Server 2005

I have a SQL Server 2005 database hosted with a third party. I want to create a copy of the whole database, including schema, data, stored procedures - everything. This copy is to be used locally for development and testing purposes.

The hosting provider has suggested I use the Import Wizard. I used DTSWizard.exe, but this did not create the stored procedures.

I have also attempted to use the Copy Database Wizard from SQL Server Management Studio (Tasks > Copy Database). However, while performing the Execute SQL Server Agent Job action, it fails with the following error:

The job failed. Check the event log on the destination server for details.

The Application event log shows the following error:
Source: SQLISPackage
Category: None
Event ID: 12291
User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Description: Package "CDW_INET8776_PCFFG_1" failed. For more information see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

There is also the following warning:
Source: SQLSERVERAGENT
Category: Job Engine
Event ID: 208
Description: SQL Server Scheduled Job 'CDW_INET8776_PCFFG_1_2' (0xA[...]) - Status: Failed - Invoked on: [...] Message: The job failed. The Job was invoked by User PCFFG\Fractor. The last step to run was step 1 (CDW_INET8776_PCFFG_1_2_Step). For more information [...].

Clicking the 'more information' links did not provide more information.

This is a serious problem for me as I need to get a full replica of this database off of the hosting server. Thanks.
