Is SQL Agent required to schedule SQL Backups?

I would like to use SQL Backup for a SQL Express instance that does not have SQL Agent. Will I still be able to schedule my backups to run automatically?

Thanks,

    You require SQL Server Agent if you want to be able to schedule backup jobs using the SQL Backup GUI. If you are using SQL Server Express, you will need to schedule the job yourself, using Windows Scheduler or other similar tools.
