This may be due to lack of proper access permissions for the username that you are currently logged in with. Under such circumstances, you might not be able to view all the databases under that instance. Please contact your database administrator to get the proper access privileges to access the databases.

Can IBackup Professional backup the entire SQL Server database?

The backed up database (*.dmp) file contains the entire structure and component of selected database and the corresponding database log file.

Please note that you may backup multiple databases also wherein each database will have its own corresponding '[<database name>]. dmp’ file.
