Backup database at certain intervals?

My client would like to have the database backed up several times per day, as well as the ability to backup the database manually.

I've created a page to backup the database manually, it just calls a stored procedure that backs up the database.

But I'm having trouble with having the database backup at certain intervals, say noon and midnight. I thought about setting up the server to hit my manual backup page at certain intervals, but I didn't know if SQL Server has something built in that would do backups at specific times.

I'm using ASP.NET 4.0 and SQL Server 2008.

Solution 1:

Use SQL Server Agent to schedule the stored procedure that you call to make the backups.
