You know that you can take a full backup using stsadm. With this knowledge you can also easily schedule this commandline in the Scheduled task as follows:
Open Windows Scheduler (Start-> all Programs -> Accessories -> System tools -> Scheduled tasks)
Click File -> New -> Scheduled Task
Enter a Name for this task, e.g. Backup SharePoint
Double click on the hnew Task to edit.
in the Run Text box enter: stsadm -o backup directory \\server2\backup -backupmethod full -quiet
in the start In textbox specify: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\BIN
Switch to the Schedule tab and specify when this task should start
Click OK to save and close the task. Then Test it
Correction:
stsadm -o backup -directory \\server2\backup -backupmethod full -quiet
(note the missing “-” before the directory parameter).
Thanks for this though!
