How to perform Full Farm Backups through Scheduled Tasks.
Go to Start - Control Panel - Scheduled Tasks - Open - Add Scheduled Task
At the Task tab:
- Run: "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\BIN\STSADM.EXE" -o backup -directory \\SQLServerName\backupShare\FolderNameWSSbackups -backupmethod full
- Start in: "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\BIN"
- Run as: Domain\WSSserviceAdminAccount
- Enabled Checked
- Then fill out the Schedule, Settings, and Security tabs as needed.
Do not forget to write or schedule another routine that goes and deletes old Farm Backups out of the backup directory listed above, otherwise you can fill up that server quite quickly.
