Can you articulate the specific requirement?  I assume it's not "the database can be backed up completely by issuing an SQL command." 

But it is!  That's exactly how you -- and IIRC the only way to -- backup SQL Server databases (typically from Agent, which is like pg_cron but much more featureful, and completely integrated into SSMS and SQL Server).  Every CLI or GUI method of doing a backup calls BACKUP DATABASE and/or BACKUP LOG behind the scenes.
