If you don't want to drop the table, then use something like this:
insert into StockHistBak
select * from StockHist
insert into StockHistBak
select * from StockHist
via TSQL:
INSERT INTO StockHistBak
SELECT * FROM StockHist
If you have Identity column on the table then you have to use SET IDENTITY_INSERT StockHist ON and Off before and after the statements along with column list instead of * to get it work.
