I want to back up a database using this code
sqlcmd -S servername -Q "BACKUP DATABASE [DBName] TO DISK = 'C:\backup.bak'"
It works. But if the backup file already exists, the data gets appended to the file instead of replacing the file. Every time I call BACKUP DATABASE the file gets bigger.
Is there an option for BACKUP DATABASE to force a replace?
