I would like to perform a scheduled/recurring backup of a user database on a named-instance. The platform is SQL Server 2017 Developer Edition. Don't ask why I want to backup in Developer Edition (treating it as though it was a prod environment);
I just follow orders ;-) I'm finding that scheduled backups of database on named instance doesn't work in Dev Edition. Yes, I get it... a limitation probably by design. I tried scheduling the backup in SQL Agent. I also tried Windows
Task Scheduler to run SQLCMD and call a stored proc. No luck. I'm just asking if anyone tried and can confirm that it doesn't work, if the limitation is documented, and if anyone knows a workaround. Thanks.
