CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[usersp_BackUpDB]
@DBNAME nvarchar(50),
@PATH nvarchar(200),
@BCKUPNAME nvarchar(50)
AS
BACKUP DATABASE @DBNAME
TO DISK = @PATH
WITH NOFORMAT, NOINIT,
NAME = @BCKUPNAME,
STATS = 10

DECLARE @return_value int
EXEC @return_value = [dbo].[usersp_BackUpDB]
@DBNAME = N'Northwind',
@PATH = N'C:\temp\Northwind.bak',
@BCKUPNAME = N'NW'
SELECT 'Return Value' = @return_value
GO
