If manually did a sql backup (example, right clicking on the database name, Tasks, Backup) is there any way to capture this so I can either create a sql script or have it capture it for me? I don't know how to look under the covers of the gui to see what this process is doing.... I just want to be able to replicate this exact process, but with a script that I can automate or run automatically.Any suggestions for a newbie?
Thanks!
You can always run profiler to track the sql statements that are being run. But in this case it is pretty straight forward because it is just a backup you want to execute.
