Yes, it can be scheduled using wbadmin.exe and Task Scheduler. I'm working on a blog post on
how to do this, but it's pretty easy to figure out on your own so give it a try :-)

Another quick question. Can the "Complete PC Backup" be scheduled or just the "Back Up
Files"?

vhd is "compressed files"
vmc is "additional files"

bak is excluded, but you can add them to a .zip file and use the Compressed Files choice.

I've passed your feedback along to the team.

Jill,

Thanks for responding. I've resorted to a file backup of "documents" even those this
really backs up a whole lot of stuff I don't really need backed up. Luckily it looks like
this "tool" uses a differential backup so the backup time is very acceptable.

How do I tell the tool to backup my SQL .bak files and vpc .vmc and .vhd files?

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Jeff, thank you for not belaboring it :-)

I can't make any statements about future plans. But as you can imagine we've
gotten a lot of feedback on this. So, you can bet it's on our radar.

The File Backup tool in Vista doesn't offer this ability. See

You might want to cover how to get the Automatic File Backup to use a custom
schedule. I've modified the Scheduler job for this and we'll see if it runs
but I noticed that once I did this the Backup Status and Configuration UI
shows that Automatic File Backup is not configured. (Go Figure!)

Thanks, Stuart. FYI, I wrote some step-by-step instructions to schedule a
Complete PC backup he

http://www.vistaclues.com/how-to-sch...ete-pc-backup/

Right - scheduling that job isn't really an issue. Modifying the existing
schedule for the OTHER file backup job (the one that just backs up categories
of files) that's the issue. When I modify that one it inteferes with the
Backup file notification prompts and display. Since it doesn't use VSS delta
mode, it takes up an increasing amount of space on backup media so I
certainly don't want to run it unnecessarity (like on weekends, for example,
when there may not be any file activity).
