    Hello all

    I am new in a company as fresh in Junior DBA. My job is to take the backup of database daily. Following these steps: 1.right click on database(ex portal).

                        2. Navigate to task.

                        3. go to backup.

    These steps I am doing them daily with wole databases seperately.

    I need a way to take auto backup not manualy. I dont have any idya in this (job, schedule,management). or is this need any script?

    Please help me in this issue step by step ...

    Note : I am using sql server 2008 r2.

     

    Thanks in advance,

    Hi Samiya,

    *You can create a maintanance plan for backup (In which you can get options for taking backup of all databases.)

    Or

    * You can schedule a backup job using sql server agent using the script BACKUP DATABASE DB_NAME TO DISK ='X:\Location.bak'

    please have a look on below articles

    As suggested, maintenance plans are common. Or use Ola's maint procedures at ola.hallengren.com.

    Use maintainess plan wizard through SSMS and it will guide you for rest of actions.
