Duplicate tables

Hi
Is there a way for duplicating tables in two databases?
I have a db1 with 3 tables, and I would like to create 3 similar tables in
my db2 (same structure).
Is there a tool to make this easy?
The easiest way, IMO, is just to script the tables using Query Analyzer and
create them in the new database. Right-click on the table in the Object
Browser, select Script Object to New Window As, and click Create. Now just
change databases and apply the script.

Simplest way is using SELECT INTO (check BOL). This will create table
(without index, constraints, foreign keys...) with the data.
Other methods are:
(a) Using BCP tool
(b) Script the table, apply it and then use INSERT INTO

Dumping sql server

Hi
Is there a way to dump all the sql server data into some sort of file that
can be imported into a local sql server later? I have used sql server dumper
but it is not very stable and crashes during sump.
Thanks

If you want to post the command you are using it may help? Also the full
error message would be useful. If you want the backup to be placed on a
different server you can use a UNC path. Make sure that you also have
directory permissions as well as server/database permissions sysadmin,
db_owner or db_backupoperator. See BACKUP in Books Online for more.
Databases can also be detached and attached, it is usually best to attach
the database to an instance at the same service pack/hotfix number, but SQL
2000 databases can be attached to SQL 2005 instances, although you may have
to change incompatibilities if you want to use the latest compatibility mode
.
If you are changing instance you will need to script logins and possibly
resolved orphaned users see

Other methods include script out all the objects and data and then re-create
the objects locally and
then import that data. I doubt you will find something as such as rock solid
as backup. I've listed
some tools to generate scripts and some with data at
