title: Backup fails using smo on big databases
body: <p>I use vb.net to backup sql '05 - '08 databases. It works great on smaller databases. but when it comes to large databases it fails at 30 or 40 percent with the error: The backup or restore was aborted.</p>
  
  <pre><code>        Dim objBackup1 As Backup = New Backup() With {.Action = BackupActionType.Database, .Database = Common.DsSettings("DataBase", Nothing), .Initialize = True, .Checksum = True, .ContinueAfterError = True, .Incremental = False, .LogTruncation = BackupTruncateLogType.Truncate}
  
      objBackup1.SqlBackup(objServer)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any idea on how to overcome this problem?</p>
