SQL Snapper is a free utility that creates a SQL Compare schema snapshot of a SQL Server 2000, 2005 or 2008 database. This snapshot can then be used as a database source in Red Gate’s SQL Compare. You will find SQL Snapper useful when you have databases deployed at a customer's site, and you need to use SQL Compare to compare the schema of a remote databases with your reference database. If the remote database cannot be accessed from your machine, you can ask your customers to use SQL Snapper to create a SQL Compare snapshot of their database’s schema, and send the snapshot file to you. You can then load the snapshot into SQL Compare, and generate the appropriate upgrade script for the customer.

You can download SQL Snapper from here. This release of Snapper generates SQL Compare snapshots that work with SQL Compare 7.0 or later.
