Use SQL Agent instead. That has scheduler and will run SQL commands / jobs.

You could use sqlcmd to execute a backup statement - but as Kristen says ....

==========================================
Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
SSIS can be used in a similar way.

There is a solution to use the broker to schedule jobs in express - do a search.
But using sqlcmd from the windows scheduler should work.

something like
sqlcmd -Smyserver -E -Q"backup database mydb to disk='c:\mydb.bak'"

oops - was sqlcmd available for v2005?
osql was very similar and was replaced by sqlcmd.

Use sqlcmd or osql to call it
I've checked and sqlcmd was available in v2005 so
sqlcmd -Smyserver -E -Q"exec mydb..s_MyBackup"

The -E means to use a trusted connection. It may need to be changed to a sql server connection depending on how the windows scheduler uns it but that's easy to set up.

"but v dnt have sql agent in express"

Not included as standard, but available to download AFAIK. **much** easier than trying to do it from Windows Task Manager
