為了避免意外丟失/損壞辛苦創建的Stored Procedures，或者想恢復到以前版本的Stored Procedures，這樣提供了一個有效方法，可以自動將指定資料庫 中的Stored Procedures進行備份 。
1. 在特定的資料 庫（建議為SQL Server的master資料庫）上創建資料表StoredProceduresBackup，用來保存 備份的Stored Procedures。
IF OBJECT_ID('StoredProceduresBackup') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE StoredProceduresBackup
GO
CREATE TABLE StoredProceduresBackup
(
AutoID INTEGER IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,
InsertDate DATETIME DEFAULT GETDATE(),
DatabaseName VARCHAR(50),
ProcedureName VARCHAR(50),
ProcedureText VARCHAR(4000)
)
GO
2. 創建Stored Procedure名為usp _ProceduresVersion，該Stored Procedure用來將需要備份Stored Procedures的備份到上述創建的資料表中。
其中主要訪問sysobjects和syscomments系統表：
(1) sysobjects system table
Contains one row for each object (constraint, default, log, rule, stored procedure, and so on) created wit hin a database. In tempdb only , this table includes a row for each temporary object.
(2) syscomments system table
Contains entries for each view, rule, default, trigger, CHECK constraint, DEFAULT constraint, and stored procedure. The text column contains the original SQL definition statements, which are limited to a maximum size of 4 MB. This table is stored in each database.
(3) source script of stored procedure.
/*

*/
CREATE PROCEDURE usp_ProceduresVersion @DatabaseName NVARCHAR(50)
AS
SET NOCOUNT ON
--This will hold the dynamic string.
DECLARE @strSQL NVARCHAR(4000)
--Set the string
--Only stored procedures
SET @strSQL = 'INSERT INTO master.dbo.StoredProceduresBackup(
DatabaseName,ProcedureName,ProcedureText )
SELECT ''' + @DatabaseName + ''', so.name, sc.text
FROM ' + @DatabaseName + '.dbo.sysobjects so
INNER JOIN ' + @DatabaseName + '.dbo.syscomments sc
ON so.id = sc.id
WHERE so.type = ''p''' + ' and so.status>0
Order By so.id '
--Execute the string
EXEC dbo.sp_executesql @strSQL
GO
3. 創建Job執行上述Stored Procedure
在SQL Server 上創建Job，並設定運行計畫，這樣指定資料庫的Stored Procedures就可以自動備份到上述資料表中。
