Automated Backup Scheme with History

[midget2000x]

Thanks for the reply! I just want to clarify what you mean about the non-privileged user. I understand it would be safer to run scheduled tasks as a non-root user, but I am not clear about what you mean about leaving the user logged in and in front when I shut down. Unless I'm missing something, when it starts up for the scheduled backup, it's not going to know what user was logged in. Do you mean that I set it up to auto-login to a non-privileged account?

Thanks
