Is there a way to run a DOS batch file that backups a single SQL database?
I can easily run a db backup in SQL Management Studio Express:
BACKUP DATABASE [LivingTreasures] TO DISK = N'C:\Data\SQL\Backup\lt.ba
GO
But, now I want to have a batch file (backup.cmd) that can do this. Of course, it needs to connect to the db engine (SOTASERVER\SQL2008), supply password (sa/pw) and the db name (LivingTreasures).
Help!
High points for a speedy solution that will work. :-)
