Running SQL express we need to run an automatic backup. I created the script, but get this error when we run it.
Script
SET J=%date:~-10,2%
SET A=%date:~-4%
SET M=%date:~-7,2%
SET H=%time:~0,2%
SET MN=%time:~3,2%
SET S=%time:~-5,2%
IF "%time:~0,1%"==" " SET H=0%HOURS:~1,1%
SET DIRECTORY="D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\backup"
set FILE=%DIRECTORY%\sqlbackup_%J%_%M%_%A%_A_%H%_%MN%_%S%.bak
cd d:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Binn
sqlcmd -S Server_name\SQLEXPRESS -E -Q "BACKUP DATABASE [JA2010] TO DISK = N'D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Backup\JA2010.bak' WITH NOFORMAT, INIT, NAME = N'JA2010-Full Database Backup', SKIP, NOREWIND, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10"
