Step 4: Create Job
Create a new
job.
Add step with
the following statement:
exec master.dbo.USP_ftpbackup
'userdatabase','c:\temp\','c:\temp\ftp.txt', 'Database'
Schedule this job
to run every day @ 9 AM.
Create another job
with the job step using the following statement to backup Transaction log and
transfer the file using FTP.
exec master.dbo.USP_ftpbackup
'userdatabase','c:\temp\','c:\temp\ftp.txt', 'log'
Schedule this job
to run every hour.
When the Full
backup job runs it:
- Executes the full
database backup userdatabase to c:\temp folder on the SQL Server box
c:\temp\userdatabase_200303180900.bak
- Creates dynamic
FTP.txt on c:\temp folder with the following information
myuserid mypassword CD
/u/trannet binary put
c:\temp\userdatabase_200303180900.bak quit
- Executes the
FTP.bat under c:\temp\FTP.bat which in turn transfers the backup file to the
desired FTP site.
When the Transaction log backup job runs, it will do the
above for every transaction log backup.
Conclusion:
The same process
can be used for all of the databases in a server. The above process can be used
not only for database backups, but also for transferring files using FTP. This
process helps in simplifying the remote standby server process as well as remote
disaster recovery file transfer processes.
