BACKUP and RESTORE GENERATE SCRIPTS

Below scripts dont backup or restore the databases. It will generate the scripts that will help DBA job
easier to copy the database from one server to other server. We have to run the script in source server.
It will be helpful when we have to migrate N of dtabases or database with more files. Press CTRL+T to get
the text output. You can modify however you want. Use yellow color highlighted where condition to
filter the databases.

Generate Backup Script:

-- PRESS CTRL+T to generate the scripts

set nocount on

declare @backupfilepath nvarchar(400), @backuptype smallint

set @backupfilepath = 'D:\DBA\'

set @backuptype = 1 -- 1 for FULL backup, 2 for DIFFERENTIAL backup, 3 for LOG backup

declare @dbname nvarchar(300)

declare dbnamecursor cursor for

select name

from sys.sysdatabases

where dbid > 4

open dbnamecursor

fetch next from dbnamecursor into @dbname

while(@@FETCH_STATUS = 0)

begin

if @backuptype = 1

begin
 print 'BACKUP DATABASE ['+@dbname+']'

print 'TO DISK = N'''+@backupfilepath+@dbname+'.bak'''

end

if @backuptype = 2

begin

print 'BACKUP DATABASE ['+@dbname+']'

print 'TO DISK = N'''+@backupfilepath+@dbname+'.diff'''

end

if @backuptype = 3

begin

print 'BACKUP LOG ['+@dbname+']'

print 'TO DISK = N'''+@backupfilepath+@dbname+'.trn'''

end

if @backuptype = 2

print 'WITH COMPRESSION, DIFFERENTIAL'

else

print 'WITH COMPRESSION'

print 'GO'

fetch next from dbnamecursor into @dbname

end

close dbnamecursor

deallocate dbnamecursor

Generate Restore Script:

-- PRESS CTRL+T to generate the scripts

set nocount on

declare @datafilepath nvarchar(400), @logfilepath nvarchar(400),@backupfilepath nvarchar(200)

declare @isnorecovery bit, @iscopytosecondary bit

set @datafilepath = 'D:\SQL\'

set @logfilepath = 'D:\SQL\'

set @backupfilepath = 'D:\DBA\'

set @isnorecovery = 1 -- 1 for norecovery , 0 for recovering the database while restoring

set @iscopytosecondary = 1 -- 1 in case you want to use same file path, 0 for above data & log file path

declare @dbname nvarchar(200), @filetype smallint,@logicalname nvarchar(200), @filename

nvarchar(200)

declare dbnamecursor cursor for

select name

from sys.sysdatabases

where dbid > 4

nvarchar(200),physicalname nvarchar(350))

insert into @dbfiles

select database_id,type,name,physical_name

from sys.master_files

declare @min int, @max int

open dbnamecursor

fetch next from dbnamecursor into @dbname

while(@@FETCH_STATUS = 0)

begin

print 'WITH FILE = 1,'

select @min = min(id), @max = max(id)
