full server backup

is that possible to make a full server backup which include all databases in
the current server , DTS packages and everything else in one single backup
file?
No. The backup restore mechanism works at database level, not server level.

|||Hi,Vyas
He can use undocumented stored procedure to do that
EXEC sp_MSforeachdb
'IF N''?'' NOT IN(''model'' ,''tempdb'', ''distribution'', ''Northwind'',
''pubs'')
BEGIN
DECLARE @.sql varchar(1000);
set @.sql = ''BACKUP DATABASE '' + (''?'') + '' TO DISK =
''''D:\MSSQL2000\MSSQL\BACKUP\'' + (''?'') + ''.bak'''' WITH INIT''
EXEC (@.sql)
END'
BTW. What is about .NET examples on your site that you have promised us some
time ago :-)

|||Uri, your script is still creating multiple backup files, which is not what
the OP wanted. Anyway, you could still write multiple database backups to a
single backup file though.
Anyway, I just wanted to point out that you cannot run a single command, and
create a single backup with everything that is there on the server.
Regarding the .Net code samples, hopefully before end of this year :-)
