Tracy writes "I would like to backup the database in a application instead of going to SQL server enterprise Manager to do the administration work.
Is it recommended if we backup a database by executing a stored procedure?"

If you really want to do the back up through application, then you can use the system stored procedures.It is safe if you set all parameters carefully.

It is plenty safe running backups from stored procedures. It's the only way to fly. The problem with your requirement is that you want to run the stored procedures from a remote connection. You'll need to make sure the user you are connecting as has the proper permissions, and that nothing is going to break that remote connection while the procedures are running.
