I have inherited a SQL Server 2012 environment that also contains a Microsoft Analytics Server.

 I've gotten backups setup using maintenance plans for the "regular" SQL Server 2012 environment. 

But now I need to get backups scheduled for the Analytics databases.

I'm a newcomer to SQL Server and still learning the ropes so I'm not aware of how to get the Analytics backups set up.

I'd like to have a maintenance plan for this if it is possible so that I can ensure it happens in the same time frame as the other backups.

TIA!
