hi, We have a lot of reports done in Reporting services. Now here is the
thing. When you upload a report it gives the report the name of the rdl
file. ex. HoursbyClient.rdl the title will be HoursbyClient. We change
this in RS to Hours by Client. Now if for some reason the server crashes
and we have to re upload those reports is there a way to perserve the name
we gave the report So we don't have to go and re type the names of hundreds
of reports?

Well, two obvious solutions:

1) give the reports the right name when you create them in Visual
Studio so you don't have to rename them. Why bother with two sets of
names?

2) backup the reports database, and restore the backup as needed
