error on t-sql script

Hello,

I try to build a backup command but the default backup directory is specified :

DECLARE @FILE VARCHAR(65)
DECLARE @DUMPFILE VARCHAR(150)

SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),GETDATE(),112)
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR,GETDATE(),108)
SELECT REPLACE(CONVERT(VARCHAR,GETDATE(),108),':','')

SET @FILE = CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),GETDATE(),112) + '_' + REPLACE(CONVERT(VARCHAR,GETDATE(),108),':','')
SELECT @FILE
SET @DUMPFILE = '''' + 'd:\backup' + @FILE + '.bak' + ''''
SELECT @DUMPFILE



BACKUP database model 
to disk=@DUMPFILE
with compression, copy_only

Open in new window

DECLARE @FILE VARCHAR(65)
DECLARE @DUMPFILE VARCHAR(150)

SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),GETDATE(),112)
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR,GETDATE(),108)
SELECT REPLACE(CONVERT(VARCHAR,GETDATE(),108),':','')

SET @FILE = CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),GETDATE(),112) + '_' + REPLACE(CONVERT(VARCHAR,GETDATE(),108),':','')
SELECT @FILE
SET @DUMPFILE = '''' + 'd:\backup' + @FILE + '.bak' + ''''
SELECT @DUMPFILE

BACKUP database test
to disk=@DUMPFILE
with compression, copy_only

Msg 3201, Level 16, State 1, Line 15
Cannot open backup device 'E:\MSSQLSQL01\BACKUP\'d:\backup20160824_180424.bak''. Operating system error 123(failed to retrieve text for this error. Reason: 15105).
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 15
BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally.

Why?

Thanks

Hi

Please could you try removing two apostrophes from the beginning and end. e.g.

SET @DUMPFILE = '' + 'd:\backup' + @FILE + '.bak' + ''

Thanks,
Helen
