USE [master]

CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_BackupDatabase]
@databaseName sysname, @backupType CHAR(1)
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;

DECLARE @sqlCommand NVARCHAR(1000)
DECLARE @dateTime NVARCHAR(20)

SELECT @dateTime = REPLACE(CONVERT(VARCHAR, GETDATE(),111),’/’,”) +
REPLACE(CONVERT(VARCHAR, GETDATE(),108),’:’,”)

IF @backupType = ‘F’
SET @sqlCommand = ‘BACKUP DATABASE ‘ + @databaseName +
‘ TO DISK = ”C:\Backup\’ + @databaseName + ‘_Full_’ + @dateTime + ‘.BAK”’

IF @backupType = ‘D’
SET @sqlCommand = ‘BACKUP DATABASE ‘ + @databaseName +
‘ TO DISK = ”C:\Backup\’ + @databaseName + ‘_Diff_’ + @dateTime + ‘.BAK”
WITH DIFFERENTIAL’

IF @backupType = ‘L’
SET @sqlCommand = ‘BACKUP LOG ‘ + @databaseName +
‘ TO DISK = ”C:\Backup\’ + @databaseName + ‘_Log_’ + @dateTime + ‘.TRN”’

EXECUTE sp_executesql @sqlCommand
END

2. Create a SQL script to run the backup. In this example, we will backup database master and saved the below SQL script as dbbackup.sql and save in “c:\Backup” folder.
