Hi, I am thinking of creating an automated off-site backup system for my PC. It will be a batch file that contains various commands to run WinRAR to archive all the users' home directories, and then finally FTP all the archive files to my hosted web space for safe keeping. I want to run this batch file at night every week when nobody is logged into the system. It therefore needs to be a non-interactive job. I've never done this before on Windows, so I have some questions. 1. Is the above possible? 2. How do I get the batch job to create a log file containing all the output of all the commands? Can I specify this when I schedule the weekly job, or do I have to put redirections on every line of my batch file? 3. Is there any free software that does the above, to save me reinventing the wheel? Thanks

1. Depends on the command line options of Winrar, but I think so. 2. You can include the redirection in the scheduled task's Run box 3. Nothing free, that I know of.
