Back up your SQL database 2024

It is important that you regularly back up your data. This will safeguard against downtime due to data corruption or hardware issues.

There's a backup management wizard to help back up your database. You can back up your data to any device available.

Make a backup directly through the SQL interface.

When backing up a database selectively, the name of the database to use is <Database name>.mdf.
