What are the recommendations of software products for creating automated backups of SQL Server 2008 databases?
The backup should happen without taking the database offline/detatching.
I would recommend just creating a maintenance plan in SQL Server to handle the backups, it can be configured to backup to a specified location at specified times, without taking the databases offline, and will handle your incremental backup cleanup.
