Backing up SQL databases in environments where is installed SQL Express version is always a difficult thing for many administrators. As we know, SQL Express doesn’t support scheduled backup like other versions, but we must do a backup with scripts. This is not so friendly and we would like to be able to make backups with some software, without scripting. I found a free program, called SQLBackupAndFTP, for backup databases for this cases. You can download it from their website.
The program is very simple to use, it works and it also has a lot of good functions. Of course for using all functions, you must pay them..
