Basic questions (Part 2)

1) How can I schedule a daily full backup of the AS Database ? I know in SQL
server, therese a SQL Agent that i can run a job .. But on my AS Server, all
I have is AS.. Also what the command to use ? Can one send me an example ?
2) I looked at the data folder and I see so many different files of
different file types.. Can one point me to some reference about what each
kind of file is ?

Look in BOL in the section which describes the msmdarch utility. You can use
SQL Agent to spawn a command line instance of msmdarch to create the
archive.

See appendix K.
Hope this helps.
