Copying instead of backing up SQL 2005 db

I just found out that our backup software (MS DPM) is conflicting with the
SQL Maintenance jobs. We can't use back up database task in maintenace jobs.
Is there a way to copy a database? I'd like to add this to maintenance jobs
as a t-sql script, or sql server agent job.
Thanks in advance...The BACKUP command has an option named COPY_ONLY that allows to perform
database backups without affecting the normal sequence of full, differential
and transaction log backups.
See more details on COPY_ONLY on BACKUP on BOL.
Hope this helps,

This is the error I am getting in DPM when backup maintenance job and DPM
backup job run for the same databases:
"DPM tried to do a SQL log backup, either as part of a backup job or a
recovery to latest point in time job. The SQL log backup job has detected a
discontinuity in the SQL log chain for SQL Server 2005 database database
SQLSVR\DB1 since the last backup. All incremental backup jobs will fail until
an express full backup runs. (ID 30140 Details: Internal error code:
0x80990D11)"

backups. Let the other do only database backup, which will not disrupt the log backup chain (for the
other backup method).
