Can the TEMPDB be backed up?

Had an alert fire telling me the temdb was full and to run a backup on it. W
hen I tried it gave me the following error:
MIcrosoft SQL_DMO (ODBC SQLSTATE: 42000)
Backup and Restore operations are not allowed on database tempdb, BACKUP DAT
ABASE is terminating abnormally.

Had an alert fire telling me the temdb was full and to run a backup on it. When I tried it gave me the following error:
MIcrosoft SQL_DMO (ODBC SQLSTATE: 42000)
Backup and Restore operations are not allowed on database tempdb, BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
HELP!
