In SQL Server, there are several methods available to backup a database.

  1. With SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS), you can use a graphical user interface to create and manage database backup jobs.
  2. Execute database backups using Transact-SQL commands, such as using the BACKUP DATABASE command to back up the entire database.
  3. One option:
    Utilize SQL Server Agent jobs to regularly schedule database backup tasks.
  4. Utilize backup software: You can also utilize third-party backup software to backup SQL Server databases, which typically offer more backup options and features.

Regardless of the method used, it is important to regularly back up databases and store the backups in a secure location to prevent data loss.
