While working on one of my project, I required to take backup of all the work which I have completed coz workplace is shared among many developers.
So being a Linux person, I was looking for something simple like Crontab but ended with Windows Task Scheduler.
Tool is simple but not as Linux Crontab But it did the work asked by me :-)
How to Use Task Scheduler -
- Login with Admin privilege user account
- Open Run and "Taskschd.msc"
- Or Go to Start --> Control Panel --> System and Maintenance --> Administrative Tools --> Task Scheduler
