The following script is a simple way to backup all databases in SQL Server
[[[ DECLARE @name VARCHAR(250) -- database name DECLARE @path VARCHAR(250) -- path for backup files DECLARE @fileName VARCHAR(250) -- filename for backup DECLARE @fileDate VARCHAR(20) -- used for file name
SET @path = 'E:\SQLBackups\'
SELECT @fileDate = CONVERT(VARCHAR(20),GETDATE(),112)
DECLARE db_cursor CURSOR FOR SELECT name FROM master.dbo.sysdatabases WHERE name NOT IN ('master','model','msdb','tempdb')
OPEN db_cursor FETCH NEXT FROM db_cursor INTO @name
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0 BEGIN
- SET @fileName = @path + @name + '_' + @fileDate + '.BAK' BACKUP DATABASE @name TO DISK = @fileName FETCH NEXT FROM db_cursor INTO @name
END
CLOSE db_cursor DEALLOCATE db_cursor ]]]
