Backup

Hello,
Newbie question.
How do I have have a complete backup of a database for one weeks time frame
and the backups append to the file name the date it was backup up? Anything
after a week the oldest backup will be deleted. Thank you.There is nothing in SQL Server that does exactly that for you. You can
accomplish the same thing with a bit of TSQL programming. Just one thing:
you cannot delete parts of a backup file. When you do a backup, it is either
all or nothing (append or overwrite).
