    expand your server>management>Maintainence Plan. Right click Maintainence plan and select New Maintainance Plan.

    Enter the name of the plan. eg. MyBackupPlan

    A new toolbox appears on left side of the screen.

    Drag Back Up Database Task and bring it on the window right to it.

    Right click the dragged object and select EDIT

    From the databases drop down, select the databases for which you want to backup.

    Check the backup folder mentioned in the textbox. Change the path if you need it.

    You have created the maintainance plan by now.

    Now go to SQL Sever Agent>Jobs

    A job with the same name will appear.

    open the properties of the job and click on schedule and create a schedule to run the job at desired interval.

    The job will keep on running at the interval u've defined and will backup ur databases.
