Automated Database Backup Windows Service Project Type

A background Windows Service that performs fully automated daily backups for multiple SQL Server databases without user interaction. Designed to improve data safety and reduce manual maintenance.

Challenges & How I Solved Them:

Running silently in background: Implemented as a Windows Service instead of a desktop app.

Reliability & scheduling: Used Windows Service lifecycle management and robust logging.

Configuration flexibility: Enabled dynamic configuration through App.config.

How It Was Built:

Built using C# (.NET Framework) as a Windows Service. The service runs on system startup, executes scheduled backups, and logs all operations for monitoring and troubleshooting.
