backup db

I'm trying to make a backup of a DB with a stored procedure. I call the sp
through an ODBC connection.When the backup is placed on a fixed disk
everything is OK. When a give a removable device as target the backup is
removed at the moment the odbc connection is closed. I need the backup on a
removable device.
How can I fix this?
an option is to make the backup on disk and copy it to the removable device,
but I don't know exactly when the backup is finished. can I add something in
the stored procedure to wait for the completion of the backup.
here is the sp:
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_Backup_DB]
@.path varchar (100)
AS
-- Back up the database.
BACKUP DATABASE PasV2 TO DISK = @.path
GOBert
I'm not sure undestand what are you after, however ,see in the BOL WAITFOR
command
