Solution 2

You can perform all sorts of SQL Server admin tasks using the SMO API:

There is also a CodeProject article dealing specifically with backup and restore:

Using SMO for Backup, Restore and Security Purposes[^]

Yes, there are other ways of doing this. What did you have in mind?

Member 8584763 1-Nov-12 10:07am

I don't actually ,but if there using c# mainly?

If a C#-based solution is what you want then the solution I posted can be done using C# and the SMO libraries outlined in the CodeProject article. You could also do it in VB.net if you want.
