How to get Remote Backup

Is there any way that i can get backup from other(Remote) location on LAN

Thanks

You can use Transact-SQL to do this using UNC naming, like this:

RESTORE DATABASE [my_database] FROM DISK = N'\\LanServer\MSSQL\BACKUP\my_database_backup.bak' WITH FILE = 1, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10
GO

Could you write me source code

Hi,
you already did this in your other post:

BackupDeviceItem bkpDevice = new BackupDeviceItem(openBackupDialog.FileName, DeviceType.File);

Replace the openBackupDialog.FileName with the UNC name.

Sir i can use SMO on computer where sql server installed, but when i access sqlserver from other computer (from my client application which i have developed using C#) then i get an exception.

Thanks

|||Which one do you get ? if you want to deploy the application with SMO functionality you will have to package the SMO classes as well.

BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally.|||YOu will have to aware that the backup file has to be reachable from the relative location of the server NOT the client. If you want to use a backup file on the client you will either have to copy it first to a server-reachable destination OR define the backup path to the client share.
