I'm running a small web application with SQL server express (2005) as backend. I can create a backup with a SQL script, however, I'd like to schedule this on a daily basis. As extra option (should-have) I'd like to keep only the last X backups (for space-saving reasons obviously) Any pointers?

[edit] SQL server agent is unavailable in SQL server express..

Note from the community: this is an old answer, the website linked to is dead and the product mentioned and the company behind it probably went away.

We have had good success with a product called Express Agent from Vale Software (http://www.valesoftware.com/products-express-agent.php).

You'll have to drop $79 to get it, but it works pretty well and I would say it is well worth it. It has a bunch of the functionality that you would get from the real SQL agent, but allows you to use the express edition of SQL server rather than moving up to Workgroup or beyond.

We've been using it for about a year and have it in a few hundred locations.

You cannot use the SQL Server agent in SQL Server Express. The way I have done it before is to create a SQL Script, and then run it as a scheduled task each day, you could have multiple scheduled tasks to fit in with your backup schedule/retention. The command I use in the scheduled task is:

'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90ToolsBinnSQLCMD.EXE' -i'c:pathtosqlbackupScript.sql'

INIT means that backup file is always rewritten from scratch. You should use the way with a timestamp as you said or use NOINIT params which append backup to existig file. It's good practice to use something like RETAINDAYS param otherwise backup file will growth forever. In case of timestamp you would have to solve it by your self. See technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms186865.aspx for more informations – Michal Bernhard Mar 7 '14 at 10:44 Remember to set backup location within the SQL installation folders. I was getting: 'SQL Server Operating system error 5: 5(Access is denied.)” because I set my backup to go outside the 'official' SQL server installation folder (SQL Server database engine service account must have permissions to read/write in the new folder). Alternatively, look through this solution – full_prog_full Feb 24 '16 at 15:15 1 For SQL Server 2014 Express, SqlCmd.exe is now located at: 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerClient SDKODBC110ToolsBinnSQLCMD.EXE' – André Haupt Nov 23 '16 at 9:17 |

sqlbackupandftp is the best choice if you want to back up + compress + auto-delete (after a specified amount of days) for FREE. The paid version comes with more options, but basic is enough for day to day operations.

sometime your hosting company doesn't allow for 3rd party software to be installed, so i came up with this method using service broker to schedule stuff in SQL Server Express:

it's completely sql server based and you don't need any 3rd party tools.

My company offers a free SQL Server backup product called SQL Backup Master. It can back up SQL Server (including Express edition) databases and then upload them to Dropbox, Google Drive, Amazon S3, an FTP server, or a local/network drive.

The basic edition is entirely free, and may very well suit your needs.

The folks at MSSQLTips have some very helpful articles, the one most relevant for this is 'Automating SQL Server 2005 Express Backups and Deletion of Older Backup Files'

The basic approach is to set up two tasks using the Windows Task Scheduler. One task runs a TSQL script that generates separate backup files for all MSSQL databases (except TEMPDB) with the database name and a date/time stamp in the file name into a specified directory. The second task runs a VBScript script that goes through that directory and deletes all files with a .BAK extension that are more than 3 days old.

Both scripts require minor editing for your environment (paths, how long to keep those database dumps) but are very close to drop-in-and-run.

Note that there are possible security implications if you're sloppy with these or with directory permissions, since they are plain text files that will need to run with some level of privilege. Don't be sloppy.

er, to my local SQL Server 2012 Express server, I get the following screenshot: Where I see No backupset selected to be restored and an empty dropdown under Database, see the areas marked in red. As you can see, the OK button is greyed out

fencepost 1 Also worth noting - if you're using DFS to automate pushing of backup files to other systems, keep in mind that .bak is normally an excluded extension - either change it or change the filtering. – fencepost Nov 29 '11 at 2:03 |

Just use this script to dynamically backup all databases on the server. Then create batch file according to the article. It is usefull to create two batch files, one for full backup a and one for diff backup. Then Create two tasks in Task Scheduler, one for full and one for diff.

And batch file can look like this:

and

The advantage of this method is that you don't need to change anything if you add new database or delete a database, you don't even need to list the databases in the script. Answers
from JohnB is better/simpler for server with one database, this approach is more suitable for multi database servers.

We have used the combination of:

1. Cobian Backup for scheduling/maintenance

2. ExpressMaint for backup

   What is Anime-Planet? Founded in 2001 as the first anime & manga recommendation database. Create lists for what you've seen & read, watch over 40,000 legal streaming episodes online, and meet other anime fans just like you. Bleach (Eps 1-52) The Day I Became a Shinigami. For as long as he can remember, Ichigo Kurosaki has been able to see ghosts. But when he meets Rukia, a Soul Reaper who battles evil spirits known as Hollows, he finds his life is changed forever.

Both of these are free. The process is to script ExpressMaint to take a backup as a Cobian 'before Backup' event. I usually let this overwrite the previous backup file. Cobian then takes a zip/7zip out of this and archives these to the backup folder. In Cobian you can specify the number of full copies to keep, make multiple backup cycles etc.

I've stumbled accross this question just now when searching for the exact same issue. On another hit I've found detailed scripts you can schedule using the windows scheduler. Check it out here: http://www.sqldbatips.com/showarticle.asp?ID=27 Uses sqlcmd and some scripts you'll have to generate yourself (or just copy/paste). Saves the $80.

I had this a problem a few years back and have been using the simple batch file and sql script ever since.

i wrote a post covering it here with included scripts and walkthrough: http://www.diaryofaninja.com/blog/2011/02/14/howto-quick-amp-dirty-sql-express-scheduled-backup

basically i do the following: - write a stored procedure that backups up a specified database - write a sql script that calls this for each of the databases i want to backup - call the above script using sqlcmd.exe using a scheduled task

On my Linux machine, I love the simplicity of automysqlbackup.

I translated that script into a PowerShell script called automssqlbackup to backup SQL Server databases on a daily/weekly/monthly schedule using SMO.

The script is available for download through my blog.

Original answer: use combination of .sql and .cmd files

You need to create a .sql file which contains the BACKUP DATABASE command, and a batch file which calls it providing all parameters.

Better have 2 sets, one for incremental and one for full backup. Finally you need to add the batch file in Scheduled Tasks. See full description (with source) in my blog post.

By mounting image files in Windows Explorer you can browse or explorean image and access all the files in a backup. The backed up data appears as a temporary drive in Windows Explorer that you can access, just like any other drive, mounted with its own drive letter. Individual Files and Folders can easily be recovered by using Copy and Paste.

If you mount an incremental or differential backup, the chosen folder must contain all the files required to load the image. Meaning an incremental backup requires all the previous files in the backup set to be present, and a differential backup requires the full backup to be present. For example, If your backup is split across multiple DVD's then it isn't possible to mount the backup.

If you restart Windows, all temporary mounted Images are detached.

Note: If you have a File and Folder backup (not image backup) Macrium Reflect also has a wizard to restore selected files and/or folders. You must use the File and Folder restore wizard to restore files greater than 4 GB in size. These files cannot be restored by mounting your backup as described in this article. Please see Restoring a file and folder backup

There are several ways to mount / unmount an image:

See also: Browsing Linux Ext File System Images

Mounting an image in Windows Explorer

1. Navigate to the location of the image you wish to mount.

2. Right click the image file and select Explore image.

3. Select the partition you wish to mount and Click OK.

   In this example, the image only contains one partition.

   You can also select which Drive Letter you would like to be assigned.

   The option Enable access to restricted folders mounts the image with full NTFS access rights to all folders in the image. This means you can browse images created on another PC without having to grant NTFS permissions.

   The option Make writable makes the mounted file system temporarily writable. This is useful when accessing files in the image where the opening application is required to write to the file. For example, Microsoft Virtual Hard Disk (.vhdx) files can be mounted and files in the mounted backup can be recovered without having to restore the .vhdx file first.

   Note: Changes made to the mounted file system are temporary and are discarded when the image is unmounted.

   
   

4. You can now navigate through the image in Windows Explorer.

Using Macrium to mount an image

1. In the main window of Macrium Reflect, select Restore.

   
   

2. Select the image you wish to mount then click the Browse Image link.
   

Using Macrium Reflect Command Line Interface (CLI) to mount an image

1. Open a command prompt and change the directories as necessary so the path to reflect.exe is shown.
   See Running an elevated command prompt.
   
   Complete the command line as follows:

   
   Note: Instead of inserting Path to Image file you can also replace it with LAST_FILE_CREATED if you want the last Image created in the current Windows session to be mounted.
   Available CLI switches:

   -b	Browse Image, always needed to mount Image.
   -auto	Do not show the Backup Selection dialog and automatically mount all partitions in the image file.
   -drives	A comma separated list of drive letters to use for the mounted image eg; -drives m,n If no drive letters are specified then the next available letters are used. Note: To 'skip' mounting a partition use the Asterisk character instead of a drive letter
   -pass	Use for password protected Image files, add password in inverted commas. e.g. -pass 'password'

   Note:If you do not use -auto you will be prompted with the Backup Selection dialog to assign the drive letters.
   

Some examples of using the CLI to mount images:

2. Take the 'Restore' > 'Detach Image Visual studio 2012 professional product key free download. ' menu option.
   

3. Select the drive letter you wish to unmount.
   

Using the CLI:

1. Open a command prompt and change the directory as necessary so the path to reflect.exe is shown.
   See Running an elevated command prompt.
   

2. Complete the command line as follows:

   (if no drive letter is included the switch -u will detach all temporary mounted drives).
