I'm getting a disturbing and continuous error when I'm trying to do a backup in my database. I have done the research on this subject but I could not get it fixed. Please anyone with the knowledge, suggest the best way of solving it. Here is the error message below: I tried changing .dll files, no chance!!!
You can do an automatic script like this:
DECLARE @path VARCHAR(500)
DECLARE @name VARCHAR(500)
DECLARE @filename VARCHAR(256)
DECLARE @time DATETIME
DECLARE @year VARCHAR(4)
DECLARE @month VARCHAR(2)
DECLARE @day VARCHAR(2)
DECLARE @hour VARCHAR(2)
DECLARE @minute VARCHAR(2)
DECLARE @second VARCHAR(2)
-- 2. Setting the backup path
SET @path = 'D:\Backup\'
-- 3. Getting the time values
SELECT @time = GETDATE()
SELECT @year = (SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(4), DATEPART(yy, @time)))
SELECT @month = (SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(2), FORMAT(DATEPART(mm,@time),'00')))
SELECT @day = (SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(2), FORMAT(DATEPART(dd,@time),'00')))
SELECT @hour = (SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(2), FORMAT(DATEPART(hh,@time),'00')))
SELECT @minute = (SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(2), FORMAT(DATEPART(mi,@time),'00')))
SELECT @second = (SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(2), FORMAT(DATEPART(ss,@time),'00')))
-- 4. Defining cursor operations
DECLARE db_cursor CURSOR FOR
SELECT name
FROM master.dbo.sysdatabases
WHERE name NOT IN ('master','model','msdb','tempdb') -- system databases are excluded
--5. Initializing cursor operations
OPEN db_cursor
FETCH NEXT FROM db_cursor INTO @name
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
-- 6. Defining the filename format
SET @fileName = @path + @name + '_' + @year + @month + @day + @hour + @minute + @second + '.BAK'
BACKUP DATABASE @name TO DISK = @fileName
FETCH NEXT FROM db_cursor INTO @name
END
CLOSE db_cursor
DEALLOCATE db_cursor
Then put this in a SQL Job step and schedule it daily like this:
