In Windows98 and above, you can use EasyBack.exe to perform automatically scheduled backups.

Click Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Scheduled Tasks.

The Windows Scheduled Tasks box will appear. The top item will be called Add Scheduled Task. Double-click this item.

The Scheduled Task Wizard will appear. Click Next. You will now see a list of programs. Scroll down until you come to EasyOffice Backup. Click this selection and click Next.

You can now give a new name for this task or use the default 'EasyOffice Backup' name. You also have to specify when and how often you want EasyOffice Backup to be automatically run.

On the next screen click Open advanced properties for this task when I click Finish. Then, click Finish.

In the Run box, enter the command line options and switches you want EasyOffice Backup.exe to use when it runs. (As well, you have the option here of changing when the program should be scheduled to run, as well as specify various settings, such as 'Stop the task if it runs for more than xx hours', etc.)

Click OK.

EasyBack.exe will now be automatically run on the schedule that you have specified.
