you can backup using command BACKUP DATABASE and schedule it via in SQL Agent via Enterprise Manager (SQL Server 2000) or SQL Server Management Studio (SQL Server 2005)

Hello There.It is quite simple if you have sql management studio installed. Drill down to the management Tab on the left then right click on maintenance plans and hit new maintenance plan qizard. Its Pretty simple from there as it allows you to create a backup and also schedule it to run at specified times.

Hello,

I am working in Supermarket which open 9am to 12am, 7 days
I am new to SQL.
I am using SQL Server 2000, and my issue is i want to unscheduled my auto backup.

actually the problem starts one day when i come to my office i see there has only 300mb space remains in my driver where auto backup files are saved. and the last auto backup was done before 5 hours (it was set auto backup daily after 2 hours) so when space remains low the last backup file was done in 04:00am,
so
when i come tomorrow in office i delete old backup files, and thought that the auto backup schedule will be unscheduled so i were set schedule again. i do this 4 times in different days....

now i see k my old auto backup setting has already working with 2 hours interval, but my new 4 schedules are getting problem, these 4 schedules make 2.25gb file daily on 8:00am (2.25 x 4 = 10 GB)with following names:

POS_db_201104020800.BAK
POS_db_201104022000.BAK
POS_db_201104050800.BAK
POS_db_201104110800.BAK

, and when i come office daily i see my drive remains in Mb's, i want to unscheduled these 4 auto backup schedules because these will getting problem on Sunday when i will not come to office.

PLEASE SUGGEST ME WHAT TO DO,


Thanks in Advance
Have a good day,
