SQL Troubleshooting: Backing up the Database with SMSS

Backing up the database in SQL must be done manually because the scheduling feature is not enabled in the express version. 

To run the backup manually, Right-click on the database that is being backed up and go to Tasks | Backup…

The only area in the backup database screen that needs to be verified is the Destination of the files.  The default path is entered automatically.  It may be removed by selecting the Remove button.  Select the Add button to enter a new path for your database to be backed up to.

When the settings are as desired, select OK, and the backup will start.

 

The Microvellum Data folder should be backed up as well.  Here is how that would be done.
