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.

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 :-)

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 :-)
