SQL Tips: Create SQL Job to backup database everyday

Today, I will make a backup manual database daily work by creating SQL Job.
First we have to install the SQL Server Agent SQL.
Set mode to run automatically when Windows startup.

Step 1.

- Setup SQL Server Agent
- Run Sql Server Agent services

Step 2.
- Create database: "Demo"
- Create store procedure jb_Backup_Database

-- =============================================
-- Author:  Phuong Nguyen
-- Create date: YYYY-MM-DD
-- Description: Backup database
-- =============================================
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[jb_Backup_Database]
 
AS
BEGIN
 
 DECLARE @DBName  NVARCHAR(50) -- database name  
 DECLARE @BKPath  NVARCHAR(256) -- path for backup files  
 DECLARE @BKFileName NVARCHAR(256) -- filename for backup  
 DECLARE @BKFileDate NVARCHAR(20) -- used for file name

 -- Set dbname is current db
 SET @DBName  = DB_NAME()

 -- Database backup directory
 SET @BKPath  = 'C:\DB\Backup\'  
  
 -- Filename format
 SELECT @BKFileDate = CONVERT(NVARCHAR(20),getDate(),112) 
 SET @BKFileName = @BKPath + @DBName + '_' + @BKFileDate + '.BAK'  
 
 BACKUP DATABASE @DBName TO DISK = @BKFileName  

END

- Run proc to test result

exec jb_Backup_Database

Create backup file successful

Step 3. Create Job call store procedure

- Create Job with job name "jb_Backup_database_demo"

- Create Step for database "Demo" with command: exec jb_Backup_Database

- Schedule Job

After create job, enable job.

You can run job to test result.
