Backup any/all Databases (Native AND LiteSpeed friendly)

This script can run backups for any/all databases using both SQL native and Quest's SQL LiteSpeed product. It includes options for Complete (Full), Differential, and Transaction Log backups (File and File Group backups will be coming soon). It will also clean up old backups and the msdb tables accordingly.

See script for a full parameter list.

NOTE: This script is a major update to Jeffrey Aven's prc_DoSLSBackup procedure (http://www.sqlservercentral.com/scripts/viewscript.asp?scriptid=1135). See script for full change log and acknowledgements. Also, I have changed the name of this procedure because of the changes in parameter values. Updated 2006.05.15 so that it doesn't start with "sp_" as that creates additional overhead.
