(HTTPS://WWW.SQLBACKUPMASTER.COM/WORDPRESS/2022/06/08/H
TO-BACK-UP-SQL-DATABASES-TO-BOX/)

STEP 1 – BOX ACCOUNT CREATION AND SETUP

On the home page of Box (https://www.box.com/resources/dm/ccm/home?
utm_source=Google&utm_medium=SEM&utm_campaign=dm-google-sem-na-eng-
brand_field&utm_keyword=box&id=7010e000000xHUTAA2&utm_content=457589517832%7Ckwd-
10818941%7Cc&gclid=CjwKCAjw7vuUBhBUEiwAEdu2pBakJR7RTxoursOlGdSRbk5NuLxi_wu-
xZmwuju1l1brutHzayYyfRoCE68QAvD_BwE), select the Get Started tab from the website’s top
banner and select the Box package that best fits your needs, then input the required personal
information/business credentials.

STEP 2 – CONNECT TO SQL SERVER

In the Backup and Restore window of SQL Backup Master, select New Backup. In the Database
Backup Editor window that appears, select the Choose SQL Server tab. The Connect to SQL
Server window will then be brought up.

In the field labeled Server name, enter the name of the SQL Server instance that you are connecting
to. Common examples include:

(local)\SQLExpress – Specifies the default SQL Express named instance on the local computer.

(local) – Specifies the local SQL Server installation (without an instance name).

Server1\SQLExpress – Specifies the default SQL Express names instance on a remote computer
named “Server1”.

Server1 – Specifies an unnamed SQL Server instance on a remote computer named “Server1”.

Another way to find local and remote SQL Server instances is by using the drop-down arrow of the
Server name field.

Click the Test SQL Connection button to test your connection, then hit OK.

STEP 3 – SELECT DESIRED DATABASES TO BACK UP

Once you’ve successfully connected to a SQL Server instance, the Database Backup Editor window
will show the available databases in the left-most column labeled Source. Select the databases you
want to back up as part of this job.

You can also click the Back up all non-system databases check box. Enabling this option will back
up all new databases created on the target SQL Server in the future automatically.

STEP 4 – ADD A BOX BACKUP DESTINATION

Select the Add icon under the window header labeled Destinations. This will bring up a window
displaying all of the possible backup destinations for your SQL Database:

Choose Box by double-clicking the Box selection box.

The Box Destination Settings window will then appear. This is where you authorize a connection to
Box. Select the Authorize Now tab and input your Box login information in the new window.

Next, you will be presented with a unique authentication code that you will need to continue
verification. Copy this code with Ctrl+C and exit out of the browser window.

Paste your authentication code into the text field of Authorization Code window:

Select Ok.

Use the Test button in the bottom left corner of the Box Destination Settings window to make sure
you have a successful connection to your Box account, and select Ok, then hit the Ok button on the
main window to continue.

Back at the bottom right corner of the Database Backup Editor window, click on the Save icon to
establish your backup destination.

STEP 5 – RUN THE BACKUP JOB

Back in the main window of the application, select your newly created backup job and hit the Back
up now button to begin backing up your Box files.

If the backup job does not complete successfully, please review the log file for further details on the
failure.
