backup

  • I have a back job schduled for everyday,but its not working from 3/14/2003.How to enable the script to run again.

  • Is it a SQL Agent job that runs the script?

    Or something else. Why is it currently not working?

  • Did you change anything on 03/14/2003 or 03/13/2003?! Did you remove access to BUILTIN/Administrators on the SQL Server?! (if the problematic job you are asking is a SQL Agent Job).

    .

  • anyway,If i want to schedule a back up for the whole database what should i do in the enterprise manager.

    Can u please tell me how to schedule the process..

    Thanks in advance

  • You can do this by Maintenance Wizard or as follows:

    SQLMAINT.EXE -D DATABASENAME -CkDB -CkAl -CkTxtAl -CkCat -UpdSts -BkUpDB D:\MSSQL\BACKUP\DATABASENAME\DB -BkUpMedia DISK -DelBkUps 1 -Rpt D:\MSSQL\BACKUP\DATABASENAME\Reports\DATABASENAME_Daily_Maint.rpt

    OR You can just take the backup as follows:

    SQLMAINT.EXE -D DATABASENAME -BkUpDB D:\MSSQL\BACKUP\DATABASENAME\DB -BkUpMedia DISK -DelBkUps 1 -Rpt D:\MSSQL\BACKUP\DATABASENAME\Reports\DATABASENAME_Daily_Maint.rpt

    .

  • Please check the syntax and options in BooksOnline for SQLMAINT.EXE.

    .

  • Have you created a dump device (sp_addumpdevice)? That's the first step.

    Next, go to Enterprise Manager, expand your server, expand Management, expand SQL Server Agent, right click on JOBS and select New Job. Fill out the information. When you get to STEPS, just create a new step, select your database from the drop down list and then type your BACKUP command in the window.

    Refer to the BOL for more information.
