Backup SQL Express R2

    I hope this is not a stupid question, but how do you set up a backup job in SQL Server 2008 R2 when the agent does not install

    I have never worked with SQL Server Express and have not had this problem before. I installed it for a client and cannot create a daily backup

    Please let me know if you have any solution to this issue.

    Thanks

    you can use Windows Scheduled Tasks to create regular backups for SQL Express.

    it's a scripted solution, typically with a bat file that calls sqlcmd.

    google points me to a lot of examples:
