I wrote this stored procedure for making a back up from database but it doesn't work. Is there anyone who knows how I could correct it?

SQL

ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[makebackup]
    -- Add the parameters for the stored procedure here
    @path nvarchar(50)
AS
BEGIN
    -- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from
    -- interfering with SELECT statements.
    SET NOCOUNT ON;

    -- Insert statements for procedure here
    backup database[elm]to disk _@path with init
END

thank you for your answer.
I tested your suggestion but it take this error:

SQL

SELECT *
INTO elm_backup IN 'backup.mdb'
FROM elm.mdf

Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Procedure testbackup, Line 16
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'IN'.

see I want to give it a path to save back up in my path.

use this query

SELECT *
INTO new_table_name [IN externaldatabase]
FROM old_tablename

for example

SELECT *
INTO Persons_Backup IN 'Backup.mdb'
FROM Persons
