Answer 1

The following Link has explained complete details about how to back sql server 2008 database using c#

Sql Database backup can be done using many way. You can either use Sql Commands like in the other answer or have create your own class to backup data.

But these are different mode of backup.

1. Full Database Backup
2. Differential Database Backup
3. Transaction Log Backup
4. Backup with Compression

But the disadvantage with this method is that it needs your sql management studio to be installed on your client system.
