Backup individual company in NAV 2013 R2

By now we know that the Backup and Restore tool in the Dev client has been removed from NAV 2013 R2... which hopefully they will bring back... fingers crossed.

So now I find that I can only make a full backup of the whole database, but the DB is just too big, and I only need one company... :-/

How do you make a backup of a single company?

I heard that you can do it using the NAV Administration Shell?

Any clues?

    If you want backup for only one company by standard, you need to place each company on separately tenant. If you use that database configuration, you can easy make database backup for only one company.

    If you want single-tenant environment, you can make only full database backup by standard. But, you can find some help outside of NAV: msmvps.com/.../copy-microsoft-dynamics-nav-company-by-sql-script-into-another-database.aspx
