SET NOCOUNT ON
declare @Sys_Database Sysname, @BackupPath Sysname
Declare @Vch_FileName Varchar(255),
@Dt_DateAndTime Varchar(20),
@Vch_SqlString Varchar(255)
SELECT @Sys_Database = 'PUBS', @BackupPath = 'C:\'

if right(@BackupPath,1) <> '\'
select @BackupPath = @BackupPath+'\'

select @Dt_DateAndTime = convert(char(8), getdate(), 112)+''+ Replace(convert(char(12), getdate(), 14),':','')

SELECT @Vch_FileName = @BackupPath+replace (@@servername, '\', '$')+'_'+@Sys_Database+'_Full_' + @Dt_DateAndTime +'.BAK'
BACKUP DATABASE @Sys_Database TO DISK = @Vch_FileName
WITH INIT , STATS = 10
