title: Database backup taking issue
body: <p>I am using Sql Server 2005.</p>
  
  <p>I wanted to take back up of my database through simple sql command.</p>
  
  <p>For this I referred <a href="http://blog.sqlauthority.com/2013/02/08/sql-server-backup-and-restore-database-using-command-prompt-sqlcmd/" rel="nofollow">THIS</a> document.</p>
  
  <p>Made command as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>backup database webbasednewsoft to disk 'e:\wb.bak'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but its giving me error as:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
  Incorrect syntax near 'e:\wb.bak'.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I dont understand what is syntax error in this?</p>
  
  <p>I have made everything according to doccument.</p>
  
  <p>I thought the issue was for escape sequence, hence i also tried,</p>
  
  <pre><code>backup database webbasednewsoft to disk 'e:\\wb.bak'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But the error was same.</p>
  
  <p>Please guid me for this.</p>
