does anybody know of a way to have a system backed up every time windows shuts down? task scheduler can't do it. I don't think ghost allows you to schedule it like that either. any ideas? thanks

scott, dunno of a way to get it done automatically, but what if you create a shortcut on your desktop and do it manually each time prior to shutdown? Perhaps it's possible to write a .vbs script to shutdown when a backup gets finished? See: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=writing+a+.vbs+script&spell=1 HTH. Ed in Texas.
