    I downloaded and configured the tool, and it works great. I am wondering if there is a way to automate the backup in some way instead of having to open the program and start the backup every time. There are times when I do not log into this computer for extended periods of time, I I would like to have it run daily.
    I created a task in the task scheduler with the argument 'startatrun' However, it seems that every time it runs it starts a new instance of the program. Also, when it is triggered with the task scheduler, and I check the backup location, the backup shows as a folder instead of a .zip file, and all these folders are empty, so it did not actually create a backup.
    Any help and/suggestions are appreciated.
    Thanks

    If your backup destination is a network drive letter, try using the full UNC path (\server\directory) instead. That worked for me.
