SQL 2008 Express R2 automatic backup

Hi all,

I have SQL Server 2008 Express with Management Studio installed on my machine running a Microsoft BCM database.

I'd like to do automatic backups every day to a local drive.

From searching around in EE, it appears i need to have SQL Server Agent running to do this. When i try to enable this service, i get the following error:

0
When i try to start this service in Task Manager, i get "The operation could not be completed. Access is denied."

What am i doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

Darnit - too bad.

Is there another (simple) way to automatically backup an Express database?
