That's because I wrote it myself. See the URL in my signature. It
basically loads the packages and saves them to COM structure storage
files, in the same way that you can "Save As" to a file in the designer.
DTSBackup has both a GUI and command line methods of operation, hence
you can schedule it via SQL Agent etc.
There is documentation on using it on the site.
The two major drawbacks are that the package layout is not retained.
This is a limitation of the package SaveToStorageFile method I'm afraid,
nothing I can do. The other is that it cannot backup password protected
packages, for the simple reason that it does no know the password.
