I recently started working on a backup program, and the one big feature
everyone wants in backup programs is the ability to schedule backups, right?

Hopefully I am doing this right, wanted to reply to the tutor list, not

Thanks Steven and Alan for your help.
I'll look into the windows scheduler and go from there.
The code given in the original email was just an example, but none the
less I appreciate you guys

Honestly, scheduling is the last thing to figure out. As mentioned, it’s
probably better to focus on backups and leave the scheduling to the OS tools

Sorry, I hit send too quick...
I realise you haven't written a busy loop, but the way you wrote your
scheduler, you can only schedule jobs to the nearest 5 seconds. That's
probably okay for a backup process that might take a few hours to run,
but it is hardly a good solution to things that migh
