Format disk - scheduled task?


Xyph, yourwrote:
Is it possible to configure the formatting of a disk via a scheduled task or another, few software as we rev a player that we make this work and we found the most effective way to full backups is to format the disk first, we use veritas, but it does not erase backup removable disk files
Cheers I think it is possible under Windows XP. First, create a batch file or script format your backup drive. then go to


Start-> all programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> scheduled tasks.

a window appears showing the scheduled tasks (for my pc, it has no scheduled tasks), click on "add a new task" and then tell the script or file you just created. after that, you ask when the program would be implemented. set it before making the backup, then the end. Now, you have a scheduled task!

Hope this helps.
