ASP/MSSQL backup file like Unknown's create_backup.php

[michaelcorleone]

Is there, does anyone know of, would anyone be able to easily code (for free or for a small fee) a .asp file which would be able to create backups of my MSSQL databases, just like Unknown's create_backup.php does for MySQL databases.

My host doesn't give me access to make MSSQL backups without paying so I am trying to find a work around.

Does your host not provide a way to do this through a control panel?

If not I'd be very surprised if there isn't something like this already. Have you looked in the ASP section at a big directory site like http://www.hotscripts.com ?

You would have thought so, but no, they don't allow access to the database backup area. Instead they charge you $100 every time you request a backup! Robbing barstewards.

Had a look but there doesn't seem to be anything that will do the same job for MSSQL that create_backup.php does for MySQL. If someone can find one I would be greatful, if there isn't one, and someone can code one I can pay $xxx for it.

You might want to try posting on a MSSQL forum as there don't seem to be any useful responses in this topic
