If this is SQL Server, the basic principle could be like:

Use for example: BACKUP DATABASE[^] to take a full backup of your database

when issuing the backup define a proper place for the backup file

execute the backup command for example using SqlCommand[^]

use MailMessage[^] to compose a mail

define the backup file as an attachment in Attachments [^]

Note: If your database is big you will most likely have trouble in sending it or the recipient may have trouble in receiving it.
