Your computer is running overnight to run the backup event you created within TB. I wonder, why don't you use NTbackup?!? You can schedule an NTbackup task just as well (not with TBs scheduler, I mean the Windows scheduler) if your machine is running anyway. NTbackup is basically the same as a standalone version of Veritas (now Symantec) Backup Exec, one of the most widely used backup programs in the professional IT world. NTbackup is shipped with *every* Windows (at least the NT series) - if you're using XP Home you have to install it from the CD (which is described here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/302894/) while on Windows2000 and XP Pro its already part of the default installation. And since Windows XP has a function called "shadowcopies" you can even back up the live registry and other vital system data (all together MS calls it "systemstate") to have a backup thats worth the name. NTbackup is a nice and easy to use backup program. Creating and scheduling a backup event is a piece of cake! Using the wizard mode, even a novice can create a scheduled backup with it. The only important thing is that you should have a password set for your Windows user account because the Windows scheduler wants that in order to run the scheduled event with the correct user credentials. -- Best regards, Alexander (http://www.neurowerx.de) Even the most overstuffed domestic cat demands a nocturnal prowl and the chance to leap upon an unsuspecting bird. -- Desmond Morris ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.80.06 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
