Hi,
I don't know why you don't see the task options but you can use a workaround and manually backup your ePO database.
I personnaly made a job to backup my data every days but you can run such a script within a query ...
USE ePO4_servername
GO
BACKUP DATABASE ePO4_servername TO DISK = 'd:\MSSQL\Backup\ePO4.bak' WITH FORMAT
GO
You can go further and add a stored procedure to your ePO database
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[spBackup]
AS
BACKUP DATABASE ePO4_servername TO DISK = 'd:\MSSQL\Backup\ePO4.bak' WITH FORMAT
and then use it within a query or a job ... EXEC [dbo].[spBackup]
Hope that it helps you
Michel
