I have a bunch of messages in one of the queues from an old date. I would like to take a backup before purging them. Any thoughts?

You can move them to a file and back it up. It can be done with a tool like QueueExplorer (cheap but not free) or write something like that yourself.

Thanks for the response. I researched a bit more and found the following options:1. The command line utility: mqbkup [-b][-r] [dest directory]This stops MSMQ service and backs up every queue on that machine. 2. Writing or using a tool like Queue explorer. I guess this is the best option. -Sri

To clarify : We have to write a tool or get one to move messages from one queue to another or save them.
