Automating Backup using C#

Hello, I'm developing a small web application that will in some stage
add backup tasks to the task scheduler. The application is responsible
for backing up files. I want to use ntbackup for this but i dont know
how to launch the utility from C#/ asp.net and pass parameters.. Any
ideas?

Hello Mr. Bean,

use Process.Start methods
For ASP.net you need to set specific rights or impersonate user, because
by default you can't call external process from ASP.net
