Hello everybody ,

I need to create a automation job for 2005 analysis services database to backup a database every night . i dont have sql server agent to create a job. I was told about a method to create a batch file and than use ssis or something similar to execute the job.

can anyone please help me out in guiding me with proper documentation to perform this procedure so that i can create a automation job without the help of sql server agent to create a backup job every night for anaylysis services 2005 database ......analysis services 2005 only

Thanks in advance

You can use osql to execute the backup. This is a command line executable so adding it to a batch file is a good idea.
You can schedule that from windows or anything that can execute a batch file.
Have a look in bol for the backup database command.

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.
