You can't "force" the backup as you describe, but you can come close.... define a schedule for laptop users that spans a 24-hour window and have the scheduler service running at bootup. Use SCHEDMODE POLLING. The scheduler will try to contact the server every 20 minutes. When the user connects to the network, sometime within the next 20 minutes the scheduler will be able to contact the server, and if the schedule has not yet been executed, it will run.
