You can't, and why would you want to?

I am doing this backup and restore process through Stored Proc. Parameters for this Stored Proc will be path and database name. If they pass invalid path or wrong database name I will be returning error message as record set , which we be capturing in ADO.
In case back up and restore succeeds I got to return 'Successful completion of task' message. Since backup and restore process give those messages , we are getting error in ADO. (as too many output)
So I would like to avoid this SQL message.

I would suggest not using a recordset to return this information. Backup and restore operations do not return or affect data, so a recordset is not needed. The stored procedure can be altered to return this information through output variables and/or return values. See this article for examples:

An ADO Command object would be the better choice to send this data to an application.
