Backing up a complete database

This script will take a full database backup to disk

BACKUP DATABASE AdventureWorks2012 
 TO DISK = 'T:\Backups\AdvWorksData2015.bak'
   WITH FORMAT;
GO


Although there are other options available in the backup database command, this one is the simplest.


Nothing geeky in the new year post :)
