public function Backup(
    file : String, 
    allowOverwrite : boolean, 
    backupRemotePartitions : boolean, 
    locations : BackupLocation[], 
    applyCompression : boolean
)

Parameters

• file
  Type: System.String
  Name of the file.

• allowOverwrite
  Type: System.Boolean
  true if overwrite of the target is enabled; otherwise, false.

• backupRemotePartitions
  Type: System.Boolean
  true if remote partitions are subject to backup; otherwise, false.

• locations
  Type: array<Microsoft.AnalysisServices.BackupLocation[]
  If locations is specified, then remote partitions are backed up on their servers using the same file name as defined in this parameter.

• applyCompression
  Type: System.Boolean
  true if compression is to be used; otherwise, false.

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.
