I am trying to run a script at a specific time each weekday to remind me to change out the backup tape. Here is the simple script I have written:

Wscript.echo "Don't forget to change out the backup tape."

I am thinking of using the Windows built in AT command to do this:

AT 16:00 c:\backup.vbs

Is this the best way to do this? Is there a way to do it all programmatically?

Thanks,

A scheduled task should work fine...much better than depending on a particular script to be running at all times...likely to be stopped by accident or not started
