How to backup database (MS SQl Server 2008) in C# without using SMO (having proplems) ?
- by SzamDev
Hi
I have this code and it is not working but I don't why?
try
{
saveFileDialog1.Filter = "SQL Server database backup files|*.bak";
saveFileDialog1.Title = "Database Backup";
if (saveFileDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
SqlCommand bu2 = new SqlCommand();
SqlConnection s = new SqlConnection("Data Source=M1-PC;Initial Catalog=master;Integrated Security=True;Pooling=False");
bu2.CommandText = String.Format("BACKUP DATABASE LA TO DISK='{0}'", saveFileDialog1.FileName);
s.Open();
bu2.ExecuteNonQuery();
s.Close();
MessageBox.Show("ok");
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString());
}
and I get this error :
What is the proplem?
