my code:

    public void BackupDatabase(String destinationPath)
    {
        try
        {
            //MY SERVER
            String userName = "NNIT-Admin";
            String password = "password";
            String serverName = @"RITZEL-PC\SQLEXPRESS";

            ServerConnection connection = new ServerConnection(serverName, userName, password);
            Server sqlServer = new Server(connection);

            Backup BackupMgr = new Backup();
            BackupMgr.Devices.AddDevice(destinationPath, DeviceType.File);
            BackupMgr.Database = @"RITZEL-PC\SQLEXPRESS\Databases\D:\MY_THESIS\WORKING FILES\NNIT-RMS.MDF";

        {
            MessageBox.Show(ex.Message + " " + ex.InnerException);
        }
    }

According to a quick Google search you need to install the 64-bit SMO components:

I found as solution here:

Download and install

X64 Package (SQLServer2005_XMO_x64.msi) – 14675 KB

This installs the 64 bit smo objects.
