I thought "when you connect" would work this way but apparently not.

Is there a way to schedule a backup to occur when starting up or logging in?

Thanks

Well, you could try using the "One Touch Button" FAQ entry technique, and run the little program you create in your login items -- that could work.

Sounds good. Before I do this is there a correct way to do multiple backups this way (I have more than one that I'd like to run on start up.)

Thanks

Should I simply create whatever quantity of these I need and have them all in the startup items list? Or perhaps I should create one script to do all of them. hmmm

Create the number you want and put them all in the startup items.
