Is it possible to backup just SQL server 2008 R2 data tables without stored procedures or functions and restore to another database without disturbing that databases procedure/functions?
-
This is for a ETL recovery procedure where a production jobs fails and the same job in development succeeds. Both schemas are the same but we don't want to copy any stored procedures or functions because they may not have all passed QA yet. Rerunning the product ETL job would take 8 hours but I'm estimating a backup restore could complete in a few hours.

Answer:
A backup in SQL Server is a page level copy of the database. A restore moves that page level copy back into a database. You can't use the backup/restore process to move only parts of a database. You move the whole thing every time. So, in your situation, if you just want to move some tables and some data, you must use ETL processes. You can't use backup/restore.
