Admin Script: Backup SQL Server Databases with Week Of Month Timestamp

This is my collection of generic database backup script for SQL Server using SQLCMD.exe.

The purpose of the script is to backup SQL Server database in the Week Of Month format. The script is invoked via task scheduler to perform database backup (System and User database) weekly

This script consists of two files:
1. SqlServerBackup_WeekOfMonth.cmd
Script to setup configuration and the script invocation from Task Scheduler

2. SqlServerBackup_WeekOfMonth.sql
T-SQL Script to perform the database backup

This script works for SQL Server Database (Express or Full Version) from version 2008 and above.

If the setup is done properly, the final result is as follows:

Admin Script: Clean Up Users Folder

This admin script is created to help removing unneeded files such temp files and IE temp files to speed up the backup of users folder.

This admin script is created for Windows Vista and above and you need to run "Run as administrator".

Hope it help and please put comment to share other clean up path.
