I will appreciate the help if anyone could help me figure out how to select certain databases (applying the template, explained below), and not have *.* (all databases).
Right now we do everything via GUI, but I have a task at hand that will cost me a lot of time if I need to do it manually.
We select databases to backup that in the Selection List looks like this:
SERVERNAME.domain.com\A*
Now, this backs up all databases that start from letter A. The template "A*" in GUI is added in "Files" field when inserting what to backup
I tried running the script to have this done for me, but all I can do successfuly is to create a *.* selection
I cannot figure out how to specify which databases to backup using the template I need, in this example: A*
So far I tried using:
- SQL1 = SERVERNAME.domain.com <---- creates SERVERNAME.domain.com\*.*
- SQL1 = SERVERNAME.domain.com\A* <---- fails
- SQL2S1 = SERVERNAME.domain.com\A* <---- fails
- Two entries together, which fails
SQL2S1 = SERVERNAME.domain.com
SQL2DB1 = A*
SQL Server version = 2008 R2
OS = Windows Server 2008 R2
BE version = 2010 R3
Thank You!
