Am I going mad...?

Does anyone know how to create a scheduled backup / maintenance plan in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express?

We're running SQL Server 2005 Express, but can't find the option anywhere.

Am I going mad, or doesn't it exist in the Express version?

Cheers!

Forget the above - after digging around, I've found a lot of irrate developers with this same problem - it's been taken out in 2005 Express.
