Luc,

All you need to do is set the backup bit on the filestream, and the Backup 
conduit will handle it like other databases.

In my experience, it is better to set the backup bit on the filestream 
immediately after closing it, using regular Dm* calls, as opposed to the 
option of setting it while the filestream is still open using the FileStream 
calls.
