Hi all, This is my first message in this forum and I am a new bie to SQL server 2005.. I am trying to schedule the backup job for a database in 2005 and I am not able to figure out where it is. I browsed through few topics in the forums and found that I can do using sql server agent in the SQL server management studio. But I do not see the sql server agent in the management studio. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks all!

Coz you don't have sysadmin rights?

I figured that out! I was actually using the mgmt studio from my machine to schedule the backup. My mistake! Thank you for giving me a clue on that!

Hi all,

I have been very unsuccessful scheduling a backup using sql management studio in 2005. I looked up on all documents and found one possible way of scheduling using ‘script action to job’. But then when I schedule the backup job to run everyday at 7pm and click OK, it just executes the backup job right away and throws the backup in the destination I mentioned. It doesn’t backup the database everyday as scheduled, it just executes one time when I am scheduling. Any clue on this??? Thanks a lot!

Check under tasks and ensure db backup job is there.
