Transact-SQL Syntax Conventions

Syntax

EXEC managed_backup.sp_backup_config_schedule   
    [@database_name = ] 'database_name'
    ,[@scheduling_option = ] {'Custom' | 'System'}  
    ,[@full_backup_freq_type = ] {'Daily' | 'Weekly'}  
    ,[@days_of_week = ] 'days_of_the_week'  
    ,[@backup_begin_time = ] 'begin time of the backup window'  
    ,[@backup_duration = ] 'backup window length'  
    ,[@log_backup_freq = ] 'frequency of log backup'  

Arguments

@database_name
The database name for enabling managed backup on a specific database. If NULL or *, then this managed backup applies to all databases on the server.

@scheduling_option
Specify 'System' for system-controlled backup scheduling. Specify 'Custom' for a custom schedule defined by the other paratmeters.

@full_backup_freq_type
The frequency type for the managed backup operation, which can be set to 'Daily' or 'Weekly'.

@days_of_week
The days of the week for the backups when @full_backup_freq_type is set to Weekly. Specify full string names like 'Monday'. You can also specify more than one day name, separated by Pipe. For example N'Monday | Wednesday | Friday'.

@backup_begin_time
The start time of the backup window. Backups will not be started outside of the time window, which is defined by a combination of @backup_begin_time and @backup_duration.

@backup_duration
The duration of the backup time window. Note that there is no guarantee that backups will be completed during the time window defined by @backup_begin_time and @backup_duration. Backup operations that are started in this time window but exceed the duration of the window will not be cancelled.

@log_backup_freq
This determines the frequency of transaction log backups. These backups happen at regular intervals rather than on the schedule specified for the database backups. @log_backup_freq can be in minutes or hours and 0:00 is valid, which indicates no log backups. Disabling log backups would only be appropriate for databases with a simple recovery model.

Note

If the recovery model changes from simple to full, you need to reconfigure the log_backup_freq from 0:00 to a non-zero value.

Return Code Value

0 (success) or 1 (failure)

Security

Permissions

Requires membership in db_backupoperator database role, with ALTER ANY CREDENTIAL permissions, and EXECUTE permissions on sp_delete_backuphistory stored procedure.
