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 Action - 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 or Windows 7 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?
