Through maintanence plan

This how to will show you to how to create a maintenance 
plan that will automatically backup all MS SQL server 2000 
databases at a specified time and will also automatically 
add any new databases you create.

The original instructions were kindly supplied in pseudo 
format by Paul Banks, I've just tidied them up a little 

1 - Open Enterprise Manager on your SQL server machine
2 - Expand the console tree by selecting Microsoft SQL 
servers > SQL Server Group > Your SQL Server > Management
3 - Right click Database Maintenance Plans and select "New 
Maintenance Plan"
4 - When the wizard opens, click Next and select the "All 
Databases" option. Click Next
5 - Skip the next two stages of the wizard by clicking Next 
unless you want to rebuild indexes (Not recommended for a 
large number of databases)
6 - Make sure the options "Back up the database as part of 
a maintenance plan" is checked and also "Verify the 
integrity of the backup when complete"
7 - Set a schedule up for the plan ti run, daily in the 
very early hours is probably best and click Next
8 - Select the location for the backups, either the default 
on somewhere on your server
9 - Check the option for "Create a sub-directory for each 
database"
10 - Set the length of time that you wish to retain backups
11 - Leave the extension as BAK and click Next
12 - There's no real need to backup the transaction logs 
unless you want to at the next stage so click Next
13 - Check the option to Write a report to a text file as 
this is handy for diagnosing any problems with the plan and 
set the retention time for the logs. Click Next.
14 - You can write the history to a DB table but this is 
not necessary, click Next
15 - Check the summary, give the maintenance plan a name 
and click Finish

At this stage you may get a warning about the SQL Server 
Agent not running. If you do, click OK to clear the 
message, right click SQL Server Agent and click Start.

NB: SQL Server Agent is set-up as a manual starting service 
so you may want to go to Start > Run > services.msc, select 
the SQLSERVERAGENT service and change the start up mode to 
Automatic.

Now that you have created your maintenance plan, it's a 
good idea to check it actually works so select Jobs below 
SQL Server agent.

You should see the plan you have created so just right 
click the job and select Start Job. The maintenance plan 
should then run and finish with Succeeded under the Last 
Run Status column.

Finally browse to the location you chose in step 8 and 
check that you have a sub directory for each database and a 
BAK file for the database backup.

And that's it! You are now backing up all your databases 
and including new ones as they area created. You should now 
include this folder as part opf your normal disk backup...
