在C＃中使用SMO备份SQL Server数据库

Question

I'm developing a simple utility which is going to create a *.bak file from a SQL Server database.

If database has a quite small size, less than 50 Mb, then there is no problem, it's working well. But potentially I'm going to work with big databases of 2-3Gb data size.

Since it's impossible (I guess) to keep such a big data in the memory to create *.bak file, would my utility still work in this case?

Answer 1

是的，您的实用程序仍然可以使用大小为2 -3 Gb的数据库。

Answer 2

Yes! behind the scene Sql Server Management Studio uses smo models for it`s tasks such as backup and restoring. it can handle backups so also you can do your job using smo functionality.
