I have been asked to recover a website which is written is ASP but it connects to a backend database, I'm used to using PHP and seeing the usual database connect details but can't see it anywhere.

The only thing I have found is in web.config which has <add key connection value=with a very long alphanumerical value and <add key username, is this the database connection config?

How do I perform a backup of that database?
 
This is the only section in web.config that refers to connection
Code:
<add key="Connection" value="verylongalphanumberic="/>
    <add key="SecurityOn" value="false"/>
        <add key="UserName" value="username"/>
        <add key="UpdateDefaultPage" value="webpagelist.aspx"/>
        <add key="UserId" value="52"/>
    <add key="UserId2" value="47"/>
        <add key="HandleExceptionMode" value="4"/>
        <add key="ConnectionMode" value="0"/>
        <!-- 0 - no database caching, 1 - caching -->
        <add key="NoReplyNotification" value="[email protected]"/>
    <add key="EmailNotification" value="[email protected]"/>
        <add key="DomainName" value="http://www.website.co.uk"/>
        <add key="SSL" value="false"/>
