Scheduling SQL Backup from SSMS

[Dip]

I am working with DBA to test SQL backup with NetBackup 7.1. Backup works correctly using dbbackex CLI. However, DBA want to schedule the backup from SQL Server Management Studio. Has anyone used SSMS to run Backups from SQL Client? I can schedule it from NBU but DBA want to schedule it so they can run when they need.

Hey Mate,

Once they have a script, they can use the NetBackup GUI to initiate the backup. 

If there is any mechanism in SSMS to initiate external script - it's doable... 

Hope it helps.
