Is it possible to get the backup as zip file using the discountASP.NETAPI?

Thank you.
I have another question. I noticed that using SQL Tool Suite (https://my.discountasp.net) to create a current backup of our SQL database, the backup file will be placed in the _database directory of our site. But when using the API, it is placed in the main directory. Shouldn't it work identically? Will the API be updated to place the backup in the _database directory?

Good question.


The API is actually using our previous version of the backup code which runs syncronizely. The one that the CP uses is a Async Windows Workflow.


We have yet to figure out how to make this available in the API.

I checked the http://community.discountasp.net/attach.aspx/74/cp_api_documentation.zip documentation and I didn't find any specification on how to get the backup as zip file using the discountASP.NET API.

Where can I find some details on how to use the Sql2005CreateBackup Method to get a zip file?

Thank you.
