Monday 20 July 2009

Επειδή ο φίλος Αθανάσιος το ζήτησε για να μην του χαλάσουμε το χατήρι.

Αποθηκεύουμε το παρακάτω script σε ένα άρχειο στο δίσκο μας πχ. backup.sql

 declare @weekday char(3)  
declare @command varchar(2048)  
select @weekday=upper(left(datename(dw,getdate()),3))  
set @command = 'backup database $(dbname) to disk =''$(backupPath)\$(backupFileName)_'+@weekday+'.bak' + ''' with init'  
exec (@command) 

και μετά με το sqlcmd εργαλείο του SQL Server από command line γράφουμε το εξής

C:>sqlcmd –E –i backup.sql –v dbname=”<database name>” backupPath=”<physical path>” backupFileName=”<backup filename>”
