Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.Backup Namespace

Provides types and members for performing backup and restore operations on Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 sites.

Four types of built-in components can be backed up and restored with the classes of this namespace: the entire farm, content publishing Web services, Web applications, and content databases. You also can create new content types that can be backed up and restored by implementing the IBackupRestore interface.

You can use the classes in Microsoft.SharePoint.Deployment to create backups and restorations of individual site collections and Web sites.
