There's a great Shareware program called "Peripheral Vision" that can be used to do this, Jim. Just have it run a little Applescript that runs SD! and the settings.

You'd basically save some setting that describe the backup you want to do, and then your Applescript would be:

tell application "SuperDuper!"
run using settings "the settings you saved" without user interaction
end tell

For a more complete script, you can schedule a backup, then open the settings package (control-click it) and look at the "Copy Job.applescript" in there. That's a really good example of how to run some settings, and you could also copy the settings file that's scheduled to the "Saved Settings" folder, and set up Peripheral Vision to run the application in there. That's a little trickier because the script is in a package, and Peripheral Vision doesn't make it easy to run something inside a package.

Does that help?
