I have a solution for this that you are welcome to use.
http://ola.hallengren.com/sql-server-backup.html
sqlcmd -E -S .\SQLEXPRESS -d master -Q "EXECUTE [dbo].[DatabaseBackup] @databases = 'SYSTEM_DATABASES,USER_DATABASES', @Directory = 'C:\Backup', @BackupType = 'FULL', @Verify = 'Y', @CleanupTime = 24" -b

hi,
thanx for the solution, can you suggest
if i backup the directory of the ms sql server express,
if there is data corruption in ms sql express will it be possible to restore the database using the files that we backed up by copying the directory of ms sql express.
what do you suggest.

I think that you should do full backups of all user and system databases to .bak files (using my or some others script). You should also have something that copies these .bak - files outside of the server.
If a database would get corrupted or a server would crash, you could restore the .bak files to get the databases back online.
