    Hi All,

    Is there any way that we can take instance level backup. I have very large number of databases in a particular instance, hence i need to take the backup of the whole instance. Can anybody help.

    Thanks and Regards,

    Hardik

    SQL backups are at a database level, so to backup an instance you need to take database backups of all databases on that instance (don't forget the system DBs)
