Here's what that looks like in practice. First, we'll create the scheduled task action. This defines the EXE to run along with any arguments. Next, we'll create the scheduled task in memory using the action and trigger that we just created.
Finally, we'll actually create the scheduled task on the system, calling it File Transfer Automation and running it under the local administrator account with the provided password. This would register the script, and it will now copy all files from your source to the destination server every day at 3 a.

If you do not adapt to Windows built-in backup utility, you may refer to the second way to do schedule backup with one powerful Windows 7 automatic backup software. AOMEI Backupper Standard is a professional backup and restore software, which supports system backup, disk backup, partition backup and file backup.
It allows you to do schedule backup Windows 7 of monthly, weekly, and daily or even of hourly demands. If you upgrade to Pro version, you can enjoy event-trigger backup and real-time file sync at the same time.
You can also set incremental and differential backup feature which can help you save the storage space on the destination. Download and run this freeware. Task schedulers are small applications meant to run or do certain computer tasks at a given time. It is targeted for busy individuals who often spend tons of time in front of computer doing repetitive things.
Depending on the application, you can use it to shut down or restart the system, open websites, open files, run programs, create pop-up memos, etc. For example, you can open the GoTo Meeting app and prompt you to join the meeting on time. Discover more about running program automatically by reading below.
Equally, it can run programs, open URLs, execute commands and open files at specified times. On top of it, you can use it to create visual reminders as well as personalized notes. After installing Windows Shutdown Assistant on your computer, you need to take the following steps:. Normally a S4U token is only good for identification. In addition to the credentials supplied at the time you register a task, the IPrincipal interface offers further control over the security context that will be provided for the task.
In particular, IPrincipal provides a convenient way of controlling the execution level for the process hosting the task scheduler engine for your task.
Start by querying the task definition for the associated principal object, then set the RunLevel property as needed. This needs to be done before the task definition is registered. Here is an example:. Assuming the user is an administrator, it will provide the process with a token that is not restricted by User Account Control UAC. It is a bit misleading since the type library for Task Scheduler 2. Nevertheless, Visual Studio will create an interop assembly that provides all of the managed definitions for the COM interfaces so you can construct and reference the various COM objects directly in managed code using RCW.
Here is an example illustrating the C equivalent of the code samples from the first section of this column, connecting to the Task Scheduler service and creating a folder for your product's tasks:. From here, you can go on to create task definitions, actions, triggers, and much more, all from the comfort of your favorite language that targets the.
NET Framework. With the groundwork out of the way, let's take a look at the variety of action types provided by the task scheduler. Actions are created and added to a task definition using the IActionCollection interface pointer returned by the task definition's Actions property:. IActionCollection provides a Create method that creates a new action object and adds it to the collection.
The actions themselves are exposed through interfaces deriving from IAction. Here's an example of this:. It can even launch documents and other file types registered with the Windows shell. To set the action-specific properties, you need to first query for the type-specific interface and CComQIPtr elegantly takes care of doing just that:.
Given an IExecAction interface pointer, you can now configure the action to run the command of your choice. Here's an example that kicks off the Sysinternals Contig tool to defragment my virtual hard drive images:.
Although running a command is convenient for administrators, it is not always the most appropriate solution for developers since the command doesn't have any awareness of the action it represents within the task or that it is even part of a scheduled task. Fortunately, Task Scheduler provides another action type that is designed specifically to address this issue. This establishes a communications channel between the action and the Task Scheduler engine allowing cleaner integration of application-specific operations with Task Scheduler.
There is an additional step you need to perform that, as of this writing, is not documented anywhere but without which your COM action will fail to load. For this to succeed, your COM server needs to be configured to allow activation in a surrogate process.
