Problem
I have an SQL database - I need to back it up everyday (at a minimum) - preferably multiple times a day - automatically so it definitely gets done. I'm running Windows which the SQL database is stored on. What programs (prefer free ones) can I use to back it up - I'm completely new with SQL so if you're gonna explain something - do it in layman's terms thanks (: It needs to get backed up to another server (on the LAN).
