Is there a way to automate the BCM backup? Can I make is a scheduled task somehow?

You can use the NT Task Scheduler (in Control Panel) to automate any
command.

You'll have to figure out the osql, or similar, command to fire off a
backup, and then add it to Task Scheduler.

That I can do but I can't seem to connect to the database using osql. Does
it allow NT Authentication? If not, does anyone know the SQL login for BCM?

BCM only uses NT auth.

This osql command works for me on the same machine as the db and may help you:
osql -E -S .\microsoftsmlbiz -d MSBusinessContactManager -Q"SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM ContactCategoriesTable"
