I have a large, dedicated MS SQL server with a couple dozen databases ranging from a few MBs to several GBs. I dump them with ClientRunBeforeJob scripts and back up the dumps. It's really no different than dumping mysql dbs on the fly. I also have management tasks running which dumps transaction logs at regular intervals throughout the day and back them up at night. Check out the SQLCMD.EXE program installed with SQL Server. If you want I could post some example scripts? Or did I misunderstand something?
