In the help it says: In the "Edit scheduled item" dialog, use the Idle radio button. Then set the time to the amount of idle time to elapse. For example, set the time to 00:30 to indicate that the program should be run if the system is idle for 30 minutes. have the alarm call a script that has this in it. if (file.readall(?"c:\today.txt")==date) do quit else file.writeall(?"c:\today.txt", date) do(yourbackup_program) endif before you set this up open a note and put this in it. file.writeall(?"c:\today.txt", date) then right click the note and choose run as script that way the file (today.txt) will be there for your script to find that also means it won't run until tomorrow but it should run every day after that. BTW I don't necessarily reccommend you put the today.txt in the root folder but that's up to you. Good luck. -Rick
