Hi all,
As far as I see SQL backups take lots of space however script backups take only 1/10 of it.
Therefore I want to use generated script as a backup source.
Is there any utility that you know I can use it to have generated script backups of my db by schedule?
(daily or something like that)
btw I can also write a program which uses console codes to do this (if there are any console codes)

You can use SQL Server Management Studio to backup the databases or even use Maintenance Plans, and using T-SQL is a much simpler and faster approach.
For more detailed and refer the different ways.
