SQL Database automatic back up [closed]

Question

I have an SQL database - I need to back it up everyday (at a minimum) - preferably multiple times a day - automatically so it definitely gets done.

I'm running Windows which the SQL database is stored on.

What programs (prefer free ones) can I use to back it up - I'm completely new with SQL so if you're gonna explain something - do it in layman's terms thanks (:

It needs to get backed up to another server (on the LAN).
