@ren backup.bak "BESMgmt-%dtt%.bak" Save the code as besmgmt-backup.cmd and schedule it as a task to run on your BES as BESAdmin. It will output a file as such: BESMgmt-2007-10-07-Sun-09-25.bak.
I needed something quick for customers that used MSDE, and I wanted the filename to be as descriptive as possible. You can schedule this, and then use a regular flat-file backup agent to pick up the database backup, and no need for a SQL Agent on the server. |
Whats a good method of restore for this type of backup?
