Question

I’m gonna get a backup with below method :

void BackupDatabase(string sConnect, string dbName, string backUpPath)
{
    using (SqlConnection cnn = new SqlConnection(sConnect))
    {
        cnn.Open();
        dbName = cnn.Database.ToString();

        ServerConnection sc = new ServerConnection(cnn);
        Server sv = new Server(sc);

        // Create backup device item for the backup
        BackupDeviceItem bdi = new BackupDeviceItem(backUpPath, DeviceType.File);

        // Create the backup informaton
        Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Backup bk = new Backup();
        bk.PercentComplete += new PercentCompleteEventHandler(percentComplete);
        bk.Devices.Add(bdi);
        bk.Action = BackupActionType.Database;
        bk.PercentCompleteNotification = 1;
        bk.BackupSetDescription = dbName;
        bk.BackupSetName = dbName;
        bk.Database = dbName;
        //bk.ExpirationDate = DateTime.Now.AddDays(30);
        bk.LogTruncation = BackupTruncateLogType.Truncate;
        bk.FormatMedia = false;
        bk.Initialize = true;
        bk.Checksum = true;
        bk.ContinueAfterError = true;
        bk.Incremental = false;

        // Run the backup
        bk.SqlBackup(sv);//Exception
    }
}

But an exception has occurred :

Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.FailedOperationException: Backup failed for Server '\\.\pipe\3F103E6E-3FD4-47\tsql\query'

additional info about the Exception:

Answer 1

The error message is pretty much conclusive:

Could not load file or assembly
‘Microsoft.SqlServer.BatchParser,

one of its dependencies. The system
cannot find the file specified.

Is SMO installed correctly?

Are you running on a 64 bit system?

Have you installed the 2008 version of the SMO Components?

You can down the 64 bit version of SMO from here: Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Feature Pack, October 2008
