KirbyFooty distributes a freeware Windows cron utility KirbyAlarm which will do this - and will even do it when the machine next starts up if it was off when the backup would normally be done. You can have KirbyAlarm either copy the file directly to the backup location or access a batch file to do it.

Otherwise, you will need an MSDOS utility that emulates UNIX cron to act as a timer and start the batch file.

yeah right

should be fairly easy, you can use windows task scheduler to do this or the AT command to set it on a timer.
