I'm new to SQL and we have an SQLExpress database that we need to backup on a nightly basis. Is there a backup process with SQLExpress or will the Windows Server Backup process include the database if we point it to SQL location..?? Thank you..!!

With SQLExpress you don't have SQLAgent to run backups. You have to manually set up a Windows Scheduled Task to run a backup command.
A simple filesystem backup won't help in case you need to restore a database: you have to backup the database, not its files.
