Answer 1

You can execute a query on the DB such as this:

BACKUP DATABASE [CCMData] TO  DISK = N'c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Backup\CCMData.bak' WITH NOFORMAT, NOINIT,  NAME = N'CCMData-Full Database Backup', SKIP, NOREWIND, NOUNLOAD,  STATS = 10
GO

Note you can get the code by going into your SQL Server Management studio, get to the backup menu for the database you want to restore, set it up and just before you click OK, look on the top of the menu and you will see a Script button. Click it, it will generate an SQL script to do the behavior you want.
