Tariq, you're trying to insert a ' delimited string inside a ' delimited string. You must use a different outside delimiter.

IF sqlexec(m.con1,"backup database &db1 to disk='&flname\&db1..bak'")<0

(note " instead of ').

Also you may consider using a concatenated string instead of macros. Macros are to be used parsimoniously.
