Re: [rdiff-backup-users] Has anyone managed to run rdiff-backup on windows?

[Karjala]

Thanks, the installation was very smooth.

Now, how would you automate the process of backing up?

On UNIX I used cron for this.

On Windows I'm thinking about using Scheduled Tasks (that's in 
Accessories->System Tools). Is that what you use too?

If so, which DOS command do you run to execute rdiff-backup?

If not so, how do you schedule rdiff-backup?

Thanks,
