Backup SQL using MSDE Writer

How do I backup my SQL Databases using MSDE Writers?

I do not see MSDE Writers under NT Backup.

Thanks

You also don't see any of the other writers. They generally aren't directly used by a backup user.

The backup app may use them behind the scenes. The important thing is whether the backup app correctly backs up your SQL database. If you back up a volume containing a SQL database, the MSDE writer should be invoked behind the scenes automatically as part of the VSS snapshot done by NTBackup.
