I am not really a DB guy. We don't have any back up servers for our DataBase. There is a need for some kind of back up service which can take production back up daily once in the morning and once in the evening .

Any suggestions ?

If you just need basic backups they can be setup pretty easily from the maintenance plan interface.

I use redgates SQL Backup, it's worked for years very reliably, easy to set up, and it does streaming compression, so your backups don't take too much disk space.
