Schedule requires login & password for any scheduled jobs.
I use an old copy of 'Backup My PC' I got as one of those 3rd party
freebees that added onto a CD Rom I bought. Its old but works. Its
flexible, but there are a good number of them out there, just google
'backup software'. Whatever you get, make sure it works before you
rely on it. Backup something, move it aside and try to restore the
whole thing, part of it, and maybe even restore to another folder. I
do this a lot when restoring after a XP reload. I make a folder
C:\OLDDRIVE and reload the entire backup to this folder. Then I can
pick and choose the files to restore. It also restores the directory
tree too. That's a biggie. Any software that can do all this is
okay. But test before you crash one day. Most people test the
restore after the fact, too late.
