Matt,
as an SMS server i based on an MSSQL database your task is to backup such an
MSSQL database. 
Now this database is usually very small so it doen't make much sense to use
the ADSMConnect agent for MS SQL databases. Instead simply use the builtin
function of the SQL server to online dump the database into files. Exclude
the database devices (usually the files in ?:\mssql\data\...\*) from your
backup and save the daily created dumps instead. Be sure to also export the
exact layout of the MASTER table as you have to recreate all devices prior
to being able to restore them later.

Regards,
Michael
