DECLARE @DBName AS varchar(200)

DECLARE Cur CURSOR FOR
--Change the select query for the DBs you like to backup
SELECT  name
FROM    sys.databases
WHERE   database_id >4  --(i.e excluding the following 'master, tempdb, model and msdb')

OPEN Cur
FETCH NEXT FROM Cur INTO @DBName
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
  DECLARE @SQL varchar(max) = NULL
  DECLARE @DBNamewithDateTime varchar(128) = NULL
  SET @DBNamewithDateTime = @DBName + '_' + REPLACE(CAST(GETDATE()
