kingneb Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 How do you set the Windows Backup Utility to backup your specified files when the computer shuts down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cozofdeath Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 I don't believe you can do this without using a 3rdparty program. The Windows task scheduler can't schedule a backup on shutdown either. I'm sure most other backup programs on google will allow this. Everybody here seems to like Acronis.

Chris Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Actually it may be possible to do it with a Logoff Script [yes it will work when you restart or shutdown]. This is only applicable to XP Pro.Do you have XP Pro? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingneb Posted January 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Thanks for the info, I figured it out using a batch script. Now what I also want to do is find out those command line switches for Windows defender so I can perform scans on shutdown too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Your machine is going to be very busy at shutdown. Be careful your defender scan doesn't interfere with the backup procedure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
