Hi

I use this command to backup database
BACKUP DATABASE DB_Name to disk = 'E:\DB_Backups\FileName'

I want to schedule this task to be run automatically.
Please advise how?

Thanks

schedule with sql agent. or if you are using sql server express, put your command in a batch file, vbscript, powershell, etc. and schedule using windows task scheduler.

before you ask me about how to use sql agent, look it up in Books online (BOL).

Or use the Maintenance Plan Wizard to set up the schedule - and a variety of other housekeeping tasks that you might like to consider.
