Automate on demand backups

    I have am trying to figure out a way to automate on demand backups in SQL Server without using Enterprise Manager. I want to have an application owner be able to run their own backups when they need to, but I don't want to give them any SQL Server tools. Is there any easy way to do this?

    Thank you,

    Susan

    I'd build a table and have them insert a value in there. You can then check this table with some job that will run backups.

    Work out the TSQL for the backup and put it in a stored procedure that the user can run with little app?

    Setup an on-demand job in SQL Agent. Then just have the user app execute sp_start_job to run the job.

    Hope this helps
