i am trying to figure out a way to automate repeated tasks. everyday i have to backup servers. how would i go about creating a script that would basically macro a typical backup routine?

how do i write a program that will interact with system functions?

Easiest is probably a batch file... if you want to use Java, pay close attention to the File class. Good on you for being lazy and wanting to automate dumb tasks. Laziness is a programmers' greatest virtue!
