Customer specific data backup (conditional backup)

We are planning to serve a web application on the Internet that customers will be signing up for, to use it.

The application is using SQL server database to store customer data. Same database and same tables will be used for all customers. Tables that store customer data (not system data such as country codes etc) will have a column, say, CustomerID that will indicate the record belongs to that customer.

Now we are looking for some sort of tool to allow us to backup a single customer's data and give it to them in case they ask for their data. For example, if Customer with CustomerID = 445 wants his data, we should be able to create a sql database that contains all records from all tables that have a customerID column, where the customerID = 445. If a table does not have customerID column we want to include all rows from such table.

I was wondering if such a tool (MS or third party) exists, or shall we create our own?

I appreciate your response.

You would create an SSIS package to do something like this.

Custom Data Extensions and Custom Code: do they require any special settings for internet?

I have configured the config files so that my custom code and data extension
work fine internally. I am having problems getting them to work over the
internet.
Are there any special considerations for this?
ThanksWhat kind of problems?
What do you mean by "work over the internet"?

Custom authentication support in RS 2000

Hi,
I read somewhere that only Integrated Windows Authentication is
supported in RS 2000. Out Web application has internet users, so I
cannot use IW authentication.
Is there any way to use custom authentication (form based)?
Without this we cannot use RS in our application.
Please help.
regards,
Sachin.Hi Sachin,
I don´t know if there´s a way to use form based authentication in rs - I
don´t believe so.
A possible workaround:
run the rs-web under a useraccount who may use rs (but then you can´t differ
between the internet-users) and build your own web-frontend in front of the
rs-web where users only see their reports... a lot of action but full
control.
hth, Tony

>|||Yeah there is. There are several articles on how to do so. And samples
that come with RS2000 and 2005.
However, Custom (forms) authentiation only works in Developer Edition and
Enterprise Edition of 2000, it works with standard in 2005.

Sadly, as was mentioned, it needs Developer or Enterprise Edition in RS
2000.
