Normally it would be through SQL Server Management Studio, sqlcmd (command-line client), or as part of a scheduled SQL Server Agent job.

Hello,<br />
Question. I have a SQL database. It is new and currently how I back it up is I log everyone out, stop the sQL services and the database service, and drag and drop the instance (DATA) to an SSD drive.<br />
<br />
What happens if I stop the SQL services when people are logged in? Does this lead to database corruption?<br />
<br />
I know Symantec's backup product has an agent that backs up the database for me while people are logged in and I do not have to stop the services. The product is finally stable.<br />
<br />
How do you backup your SQL databases, what is the best way? I watched several TECHNET videos on the subject. <br />
<br />
Thanks,
