Just schema?

You can extract a dacpac of your database without much powershell code or from the command line. Either of those methods can be set into a SQL Agent job for regular runs.

Where do you find how to do that? Got a link?

________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Sure thing.

Here's Microsoft's extract page and example... I don't actually like this one, but it is what it is.
SQLStudies.com actually just posted this yesterday.

My starting point for approaching this would be to build on this very small test...
I created a folder at C:\DACBackups and in that folder I created DACPACBuild.ps1 with the following code.

add-type -path "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\DAC\bin\Microsoft.SqlServer.Dac.dll" $d = new-object Microsoft.SqlServer.Dac.DacServices "server=localhost" $d.extract("C:\DACBackups\dac01.dacpac", "test", "dacpac extraction", "1.0.0.0")

(Info about Microsoft.SqlServer.Dac.DacServices can be found here.)

I then created a job on my instance with an Operating system (CmdExec) step that just calls the following:

PowerShell.exe "C:\DACBackups\DACPACBuild.ps1" -NonInteractive

Running the job creates the specified dac01.dacpac file which contains the schema backup for my database [Test]

A few small modifications would allow the target file name, description, and version to be set automatically.

Thanks for taking the time. That does the full monty with FKs, Partitionion Functions/Schemas, indexes, constraints, etc, etc, etc?

It uses the .net framework functionality for scripting that are in the Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo namespace. I wrote a .net command line utility in C# that lets me access these handy scripting features and use it in all sorts of batch scripts I run. The most handy thing I use it for is scripting out all the SQL Agent Jobs on each of the production database servers every night so they can get pushed out to the DR site along with the back up jobs.

The probability of survival is inversely proportional to the angle of arrival.
