Backupdevice

  • hi.

    i want automatically backup for my database in week days. and how to create backup devices and how to backup yesterday backup.

  • This will get you started, but I recommend reading about backups and maintenance plans in BooksOnLine.

    Create a backup device in SQL Server Management Studio by right-clicking Server Objects in Object Explorer, selecting "New", then "Backup Device...".

    Create a maintenance plan to backup databases by expanding Management in Object Explorer, right-clicking Maintenance Plans, and selecting "New Maintenance Plan..." or "Maintenance Plan Wizard".

  • use the SP_Addumpdevice stored proc, syntax is as follows

    'type', 'device name', 'drive:\path\file'

    type is either disk or tape

    device name is the logical name you want to use

    drive:\path\file should be self explanatory
