Did you try anything? Anything at all? Even a simple search? http://www.codeproject.com/search.aspx?q=backup+database&x=0&y=0&sbo=kw

Maybe you should clarify why you do not want to use SQL Server functionality when you are using SQL Server?

The Web is full with answers. You have several approaches to choose from:
A) SMO:
SQL Server 2008 - Backup and Restore Databases using SMO[^]
B) SQLDMO:
http://www.csharphelp.com/2006/10/sql-server-backuprestore-through-sqldmo-and-c/[^]
C) ADO.NET Commands:

I suggest you take the first approach.
