Is there a way to automate the Backup to Desktop

Hello there,
I am wondering if there's an easy way to automate our backup. I would like to backup to desktop each night to our Win2K server - any ideas ?
cheers,
Adam

Hi,
How about a cron job?

Thanks for that,
I'm a bit of a novice with Linux - could you perhaps guide me in the right direction to getting this completed.
Maybe someone out there has already done this ?

there is a contrib howto that goes half way to what you want
i'm going to write a panel that will do exactly this
plus give the ability to exclude certain ibays
it will run nightly or on command
it'll be two weeks before i get to it

Search the devinfo mailing list archive, I sent there a message with a script attached, last month.
If you can't find it, write me an email and I'll send it to you.

See
http://www.e-smith.org/docs/howto/contrib/flexbackup-to-disk-howto.htm
. I believe this will do what you're after. It includes a small section on using cron.
If you have questions about it let me know (I'm the author).
