command line tools to make flat backups

Does anyone know if there is a way to run a command at the DOS prompt
to make a complete flat file (.bak) backup of a database? I know you
can do this using the enterprise manager by right clicking on the
db..., but I am curious to find out if I can add a command into my
batch scripts as part of my code migration procedures?
Thanks!

You could use osql e.g.
osql -Q "BACKUP DATABASE pubs TO DISK = 'e:\backups\pubs.bak'" -E
