Backup single table using file/filegroup backup?

If the table is the only thing in a filegoup then you can.  The details are
explained in BooksOnLine under Filegroup backups.  You may also want to
consider BCP'ing the data out to backup a single table.

Only if it is the only table on that file or filegroup.

1. Backup from filegroup without transaction log backups

I have a mssql 7.0 database of 2 GB (it will probably grow to 5 GB). In
this database I have approximately 130 tables. Every night I make a
full backup. Sometimes I get called that the data updated in an table
over the last month is totally wrong. The table needs to be recovered
to the state it was in the previous month.

In mssql 6.5 I restored just that one table. In mssql 7.0 this is not
possible any more. The server is not big enough to contain 2 databases
of 5 GB.

I have the following solution. I know which tables can cause problems.
I want to put these tables on there own file group. If I have to
restore a table I restore that filegroup. However I dont have the
transaction log backups from the previous month.

Question will the database be consistent without the transaction log
backups?
