Powershell has a SQL backup facility

You can start a PowerShell SQL backup using the command sqlps

From there, you have access to the Backip-SqlDatabase command

Works something like this...
sqlps Backup-SqlDatabase -ServerInstance SERVER\SQLINSTANCE -Database DBNAME -BackupAction Database

NMAP

It's been about 15 years since I used NMAP, I forgot how useful the tool is. To find out what services are running on an IP address simply use something like nmap -n -v -p1-10000 x.x.x.x -n tells nmap not to do name resolution (saves about 13 seconds if the IP you're scanning isn't in DNS_ -v verbose -p1-10000 says scan ports 1 to 10,000 (otherwise nmap will only scan the first 1000 ports)
