How can I backup only my stored procedures, functions and jobs

  • Dear all,

    My first posting here ... I'm running a database that creates aggregate tables each night. The data on the server is not so important for me, as it's updated on a daily basis.

    However, I would like to backup all items that are created by myself: stored procedures, functions, jobs and -if possible- views.

    I can't use a full backup as I have space issue that can't be resolved easily.

    Any thoughts are very welcome!

    Best regards

  • I would like to backup all items that are created by myself: stored procedures, functions, jobs and -if possible- views.

    Open SSMS

    Right click on the database --> Tasks --> Generate Scripts

    using this wizard you can backup all stored procedures, functions and views for selected database/databases.

    And for job I donno if there's any way to backup all the jobs together. But individualy you do it by right clicking and generating script on each job.

  • If you only want to backup the code of sp's,triggers etc...generate the script of all these objects and save it some version control tool like VSS.

  • Good suggestions so far, if you want to script multiple job in 1 go, you can multi select the jobs and right click script using object explorer details view.

    Thanks. Infact I was not aware about it. Never had any such requirement as well.

  • Dear all,
