  • You can either create a job with the TSQL code for doin the backup or setup a maintainence plan to handle this.

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

    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

    .

  • Bruce: You might want to check the syntax and options for SQLMAINT.EXE in BOL.
