Doesn’t work for me, even if I added Stan Littlefield’s extras because I’m using SQL Express 2008 R2.

Came up with:

Exception calling “SqlBackup” with “1″ argument(s): “Backup failed for Server ‘compname\SQLExpress’. ” At \.ps1:45 char:21 +$smoBackup.SqlBackup <<<< ($Server)
+CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
+FullyQualifiedErrorID : DotNewMethodException

Anyone have any ideas how to make it work?

Tried it on SQL Express 2008 R2 - had to reference $server = New-Object ("Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server") "(local)\SQLExpress" and add version 10.0 to LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SqlServer.SMO, Version=10") and it worked as expected. Great post! I came across this. Tried it on SQL Express 2008 R2 – had to reference

$server = New-Object (“Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server”) “(local)\SQLExpress”

and add version 10.0 to

LoadWithPartialName(“Microsoft.SqlServer.SMO, Version=10″)

and it worked as expected. Great post!

This is kind of off topic but I need some help from an established blog. Is it difficult to set up your own blog? I'm not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick. I'm thinking about making my own but I'm not sure where to start. Do you have any points or suggestions? Many thanks Hi! This is kind of off topic but I need some help from an established blog.

How would you do a DBCC CHECKDB first and if passes then backup? I have the backups working via SQL Agent using powershell. They read my SLA metadata and either backup up or if CommVault is doing the backup check to confirm backups are happening. This is phase one. Phase two of my project to to test the backups. For some reason my brain is not making the jump of capturing an error on the DBCC CHECKDB and then throwing an error so that SQL Agent will notify. Thanks Thanks for the posting.
