Hi everyone,
I have developed a desktop application. I have created a menu item to click for backup database from MS SQL Server 2005. This is why I have created a method to perform the operation. But the method is not working well. There's something wrong in the code which I cannot recognize. Please help me to find the problem and solution as well. The method code is given bellow:
public void BackupDatabase(String databaseName, String destinationPath)
{
try
Backup sqlBackup = new Backup();
sqlBackup.Action = BackupActionType.Database;
sqlBackup.BackupSetDescription = "ArchiveDataBase:" + DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString();
sqlBackup.BackupSetName = "Archive";
sqlBackup.Database = databaseName;
BackupDeviceItem deviceItem = new BackupDeviceItem(destinationPath, DeviceType.File);
SqlConnection sqlCon = new SqlConnection(GenericDataAccess.GetConnectionString());
ServerConnection connection = new ServerConnection(sqlCon);
Server sqlServer = new Server(connection);
Database db = sqlServer.Databases[databaseName];
sqlServer.Databases.Add(db);
sqlBackup.Initialize = true;
sqlBackup.Checksum = true;
sqlBackup.ContinueAfterError = true;
sqlBackup.Devices.Add(deviceItem);
sqlBackup.Incremental = false;
sqlBackup.ExpirationDate = DateTime.Now.AddDays(3);
sqlBackup.LogTruncation = BackupTruncateLogType.Truncate;
sqlBackup.FormatMedia = false;
sqlBackup.SqlBackup(sqlServer);
}
catch (Exception ex)
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message + "\n" + ex.StackTrace);
And the click event from where I am calling the method is also given:
private void backupMnuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
BackupData_Bl backup = new BackupData_Bl();
backup.BackupDatabase("CFM", "D:\\TEMP");
For your information (it might help you to find the problem) I have first create my database using SQL Server Management Studio. Then I've move the database from sql server installation location to my project directory under a folder named DB. After that I have attached the database using SQL Server Management Studio.
