There's a disconnect there... what does one have to do with the other?

Will that code work with MS SQL Express?

btw - that's got a big-old-nasty copyright in it - @jggtz - is that you in that (c)?

@jagjit - search the forums for the following and you will see many examples of using T-SQL to backup a MS SQL database.
