How to schedule backup task

I'm new to sql server. I want to schedule a backup task. But everytime I did
it by right clicking the database -- All Tasks -- Backup database, then
ticking the "Schedule", next time I couldn't find where it is. It's always
unticked. I don't know where is my previous scheduled settings. Am I doing
it in the right way?
Thank u very much for your help.OK
In your SQL Server Server tree in Enterprise Manager you have
Management | SQL Server Agent | Jobs
You should find your job schedules in here
Also look in BOL (Books Online)
Subjects
Jobs (Scheduling, creating)

running and that it's set to run automatically. This service basically
manages all the automatic jobs inside sql server.
