I want to backup my SQL database programatically.<br />
<br />
I have found an article using SMO that will enable me to do this. <br />
<br />
However, when I go to add the references to my project, I cannot locate them under the .Net components. I have SQL Server 2008 R2 installed. <br />

Can someone please advise me where I can find the references for SMO?<br />

Accessing SQL Server Management Objects (SMO)

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).

Microsoft SQL Server 2008 is a suite of relational database management system (RDBMS) products providing multi-user database access functionality.Component services include integration (SSIS), reporting (SSRS), analysis (SSAS), data quality, master data, T-SQL and performance tuning. Major improvements include the  Always On technologies and support for unstructured data types.
