backup devices

hey all,
i'm trying to do a full backup on my database. there is a disk device
currently assigned to do a differential backup on the db. how do i get my
backup without messing up the current device. because there have been a
couple of times where i ran the backup using osq and it still ended up
changing the device and i didn't want it to do that.
thanks,
rodcharHi,
Use Maintenance Plan in Enterprise manager / SQL Server Management Studio to
do the full database backup. This will automatically create file names based
on Database name
and date and time stamp. Maintenance plan have an option of archival
also...s
Thanks
