Using maint.exe.

You can set the plan to log and look at the log.
Safer to not use a plan but to code the tasks yourself. It is easy to do, you have more control, are confident about what it is doing and don't have to run an external exe that controls things.

You create tasks in enterprise manager.

got to management, sql server agent, jobs
right click new job.

give the job a name,
add a job step - set the name, database, command as 'exec sp...'
add a schedule

make sure the job and schedule are enabled and it will run at the scheduled times.

For the commands to put in the SP look in bol.
you will want a 'backup database' or several.
you may want some dbcc commands to check/reindex the database too if it is not a 24 hour system.
