Answer: Here's how to set up a scheduled backup task on Windows XP:

1. Click on start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - Scheduled Tasks.

2. Doubleclick on Add Scheduled Task.

3. Proceed with the Scheduled Task Wizard, using the Browse button to specify this command to execute:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\RisingRoad\Foxhound1\$backup_foxhound1.bat

1. Click on start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - Task Scheduler.

2. Click on Actions - Create Basic Task...

3. Proceed with the Create Basic Task Wizard, using the Browse button to specify this command to execute:

C:\ProgramData\RisingRoad\Foxhound1\$backup_foxhound1.bat

Here's where the backups are stored on Windows XP:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\RisingRoad\Foxhound1\backup\generation1 (the oldest)
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\RisingRoad\Foxhound1\backup\generation2
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\RisingRoad\Foxhound1\backup\generation3 (the latest)

C:\ProgramData\RisingRoad\Foxhound1\backup\generation1 (the oldest)
C:\ProgramData\RisingRoad\Foxhound1\backup\generation2
C:\ProgramData\RisingRoad\Foxhound1\backup\generation3 (the latest)

Caution: If you are using the Windows Vista Task Scheduler to take regular backups of your Foxhound database using the technique described here, be careful not to accidentally create two copies of the same scheduled task; see Why doesn't the Foxhound backup process create the generation2 subfolder?
