Can the TEMPDB be backed up?
You need to run a "Full Backup" on all of your other
Databases.
It may also be a good idea to look at scheduling "Full
Backups" on a more frequent basis. Whenever "Full
Backups" are done, the TempDB is automatically re-sized to
remove all of the temporary data. As TempDB is a system
database, it cannot be manipulated or controlled by any
user.

I don't think that's true. The only "automatic" resizing of tempdb occurs
when SQL Server restarts, where it reverts to its original size.

Also not true. See http://support.microsoft.com/?id=307487 for manual

Can tempdb be presized?
SQL Server 2000 & 2005
When restarting a server, can you specify the size you want tempdb to be? I
have no choice but to place in on the same drive as the other .mdf files and
would like to avoid it being created in pieces.Yes. Simply create the files you want and expand them manually to the
desired size. When the server restarts, it will retain the specified size.
