I am new to the world of script and have not created one myself so
appreciated if anyone can help me with the script I have been researching
and
reading douments for:
Here is what the script suppose to peform:

1. Schedule a daily backup of the databse on local computer (eg. computer
name - DD110) at about 12:00 midnight.

2. Destination of the daily backup is to be on another server (eg. server
name - DD111) on the same network.

3. Also create a log file that shows when backup created and status

Appreciated your assistance

Hi,

Depends on the DBMS. For example, SQL Server has T-SQL commands to backup
databases that can be executed in a script. You would use task scheduler to
schedule the script, assigning proper credentials so the scheduled task has
required permissions. The destination would be a share on the remote server.
If you have backup software, it should also have this functionality.
