When using the Database Manager to schedule a NetPerfMon backup it never performs the task. I think the reason is it have SQLexpress. I am able to run the backup manually. I downloaded Sql Management Studio Express 2005 but it as well is unable to run a scheduled task. I have the capability of running windows scheduler. Is it possible to somehow use windows scheduler to run the automated backup task. Perhaps writing a .BAT file and use scheduler to run that though I have no clue on how to write the Bat file.
