Why do you want to do a cold backup? A hot backup works perfect in SQL Server and requires zero downtime.

You would issue the BACKUP DATABASE command.

Making a batch file isn't actually a SQL Server thing. Why do you need to use a batch file? If you just want to schedule a backup, you would create a job in the SQL Server Agent.

If you are dead set on using a batch file, you would issue the BACKUP DATABASE command via sqlcmd.exe.

Here is a sample: sqlcmd.exe -Sserver1\instance1 -E -ic:\temp\SomeScript.sql

SomeScript.sql:
BACKUP DATABASE Test TO DISK = '\\server2\f$\backup\Test.bak'
