Create backup of all database in sql server Query

 Hi friends,

It's simple to create backup of all database in the server 

SQl Query

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\'  -- where i'm saving my back up

SELECT @fileDate = CONVERT(VARCHAR(20),GETDATE(),112) -- Fetching today's data
DECLARE db_cursor CURSOR FOR 
SELECT name FROM master.dbo.sysdatabases WHERE name NOT IN ('master','model','msdb','tempdb') -- these database will be excluded

OPEN db_cursor   FETCH NEXT FROM db_cursor INTO @name  
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0   BEGIN  
       SET @fileName = @path + @name + '_' + @fileDate + '.BAK' -- file name comes here
       BACKUP DATABASE @name TO DISK = @fileName 

       FETCH NEXT FROM db_cursor INTO @name   END  

CLOSE db_cursor   DEALLOCATE db_cursor


Notes:
1.Create a folder with name Backup(whatever u giving in query) Otherwise it throw an error
2.Example of a backup file name:country_20100728.BAK
here Country_ is the database name and 20100728 means 2010-07-28 date when backup had created



Have a nice day... 'N happy Coding :)
