the database server, specify the following query in the SQL Statements section:
BACKUP DATABASE DIRECTORY
'complete_path_of_the_backup_directory_on_database_server' TRANSACTION
LOG TRUNCATE
If you want to back up the database to a directory on Windows, you must use \\ (double
backslash) as the delimiter while specifying the database backup directory path.
Examples:
You must manually archive the complete path of the database backup location that you
