TAS1, TAS2, TAS3, and TAS4 are the database names that you do not want to back up.

  • Using a text editor, create a batch file named Sqlbackup.bat, and then copy the appropriate text from one of the following examples into the file based on your scenario:

Full Backup : 

 sqlcmd -S .\SQLEXPRESS -E -Q "EXEC sp_BackupDatabases @backupLocation='D:\SQLBackups\', @backupType='F'"

Differential backup :
sqlcmd -U <YourSQLLogin> -P <StrongPassword> -S .\SQLEXPRESS -Q "EXEC sp_BackupDatabases  @backupLocation ='D:\SQLBackups', @BackupType='D'"

Log backup :

 sqlcmd -S .\SQLEXPRESS -E -Q "EXEC sp_BackupDatabases @backupLocation='D:\SQLBackups\',@backupType='L'"
  • Schedule a task in Windows Task Scheduler to execute the "Sqlbackup.bat" file.
  • create another batch file that removes old backup files from the network path and moves the new backup files to that location.
del /Q "\\server\Backup\*.*"

move /y "D:\SQLBackups\*.*" "\\server\Backup"
  • Use Windows Task Scheduler to schedule a job that executes this batch file as well.
