Batch file call to SQL Agent to make Bakcup

Hello.
I've a Backup system that copies my files and I want to copy also my
SQL Server DDBB. I intend to execute the batch file before de File
Backup starts to call de SQL Agent so it makes those Backups and then
copy them to the Backup folder so the Backup system copies everything.
The problem is that I don't know if it is possible to call to the SQL
Agent through a Batch file to make these Backups. If so, how could I
do it?
Thank you.
One suggestion ... instead of having the batch file calling the SQL Agent,
you can use the OSQL utility (it is a command line utility for SQL). You can
backup the database using OSQL.
Thank you

|||If the backup script is in a job, you can execute that job
through OSQL, SQLCMD, etc by executing sp_start_job. You can
find more information on sp_start_job in books online
