StoredProc to Back-up SQL Server

[dee-u]

Using ado I use this:

strExecute = "BACKUP DATABASE ['database name"] "
    strExecute = strExecute & "TO DISK = 'path" ' "
    strExecute = strExecute & "WITH INIT" ', STATS "
    Dim AdoCmd As New ADODB.Command
    With AdoCmd
        .ActiveConnection = 'active connection
        .CommandType = adCmdText
        .CommandTimeout = 0
        .CommandText = "use master"
        .Execute
        .CommandText = strExecute
        .Execute
        Set .ActiveConnection = Nothing
    End With
    Set AdoCmd = Nothing

Can it be turned to T-SQL so I could just execute it asynchronously and dont wait till it is finished backing-up the sql server database?
