backup all databases in SQL 2008
-
Hi,
Need a script to compress and backup all the databases in sql 2008, except system databases.
Please let me know if someone has it.
Thanks.

DECLARE @name VARCHAR(50) -- database name
DECLARE @path VARCHAR(256) -- path for backup files
DECLARE @fileName VARCHAR(256) -- filename for backup
DECLARE @fileDate VARCHAR(20) -- used for file name
SET @path = 'C:\Backup\'
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 WITH COMPRESSION
FETCH NEXT FROM db_cursor INTO @name
END
CLOSE db_cursor
DEALLOCATE db_cursor

exec sp_msforeachdb 'if db_id(''?'')>4 backup database [?] to disk = ''C:\?.bak'' with init, compression;'Does the same thing but isn't support by Microsoft

Ola Hallengren has a great script for that:

No need to re-invent the wheel.

Try SQL Backup Master, which can back up all non-system databases at once. Basic edition is free.
