Question : BES Server Backup Script

Hello,

I am looking for a script so I can backup my BES database by scheduling tasks as opposed to purchasing an additional license for SQL.

Server:

Win2K3
Exchange 2003
BES 4.1
SQL 2005
100 users

Now I have done some digging around and located the following script which I can not get to work?! Would also like the script to override the previous backup..

osql -E
1> backup database besmgmt to disk = "c:\backup_before_upgrade.bak"
2> go
1> quit

I would like to change the database backup to point to \\servername\share\BES BACKUPS

I would like to also know what else I should be backing up on my BES Server apart from the DBA, also if I have backups running say at 9PM each night what time should i schedule the task to run so it does not conflict with Veritas and backups up correctly?!

I am new to scripting so any help would be much appreciated!

Thank you for you time

Answer : BES Server Backup Script

Do you have SQL Server Management Studio installed? You just do a new query, type it in and press F5.

Where did you see your list of databases? Was it in SQL Server Management Studio?

Just a note: I'm hoping that BES Server is just a type of SQL Server but I may be wrong as I have no experience with BES.

Do you want to post a picture of where you see your database? I want to see if its in SQL Server Enterprise Manager, or whether its in some proprietary tool.
