Parameters

• file
  Type: System.String
  A file containing the parameters to be applied during backup of a Database.

• allowOverwrite
  Type: System.Boolean
  true if overwrite is allowed; otherwise, false.

• backupRemotePartitions
  Type: System.Boolean

Remarks

Security Note
For each backup file, the user who runs the backup command must have permission to write to the backup ___location specified for each file. Also, the user must have one of the following roles: a member of a server role for the Analysis Services instance or a member of a database role with Full Control (Administrator) permissions on the database to be backed up.
