Backing up WMSDE?

Hi,
I'm deciding whether to use WMSDE or the full SQL Server for the back-end of
WSUS. Can you tell me whether it is possible, in any way, to take a backup
of the WMSDE database? It doesn't have to be remote, but must be automated,
and able to be performed with the database online.
This is just so that we can restore the db quickly from a backup file should
it be necessary.
Thanks
Backing up databases in MSDE is easy. It can backup to a disk file. You
can either use osql to backup, or any of the miriad of utilities out there.
The backup can be automated for any schedule you choose.
It can be done while the db is online, but when you restore, all users must
be logged out.
