I think there is a bad example of how to make a tool to backup a database.

In my opinion you have to use SMO (a good example is this http://www.sqlserverclub.com/articles/introduction-to-sql-server-shared-management-objects-smo.aspx). If you don't know C# maybe you couldn't write a technical article or maybe you could write in other medias like a forum or in your blog.

I have the email subscription to this website since 2 years and I never have seen an article like this. I read every article with lot of patience, there are lot of very complete articles and there are another non-complete articles, but in general the technical skills of the articles are good.

I'm Sorry to be picky about the technical article, I encourage you to keep writing and you post something with more consistency on SMO.

A lot of spirit.

PS: I'm Sorry for my english, I am learning still.
