I have used below command for backup.

"backup database IMS_Algeria to disk = 'D:\IMS_Algeria.bak'"

SQL Server says,
Processed 4136 pages for database 'IMS_Algeria', file 'IMS_SG' on file 3.
Processed 1 pages for database 'IMS_Algeria', file 'IMS_SG_log' on file 3.

But, nothing will be created. pls. help.

You can backup your database in two ways:

1.Use Management Studio Express (available separately or as part of Express advanced from this download page) which has the Backup option on the right click menu for each database under Tasks.

2.Use T-SQL to manually write your backup script. You can learn about the T-SQL backup command in this BOL topic.

If you want to schedule your backups, you would write a T-SQL script and then use Windows Task Schedule to call SQLCmd to run the script on what every schedule.
