Ok, maybe this is a dumb question.

I'm trying to backup my WinXP Pro computer to a network drive. All
works wonderfully if I'm logged on.

But I want this to occur in the wee morning hours such as 2:00am (duh!).
If I logoff of my account (admin privs), it doesn't seem to run (yes,
the computer itself is still on).

How can I get this back to run, even if noone is logged on?

I don't think it will. If you're concerned about leaving your account open when
you're not around, you could create an account just to handle the backup process
and switch to that when you log off.

That can't possiblity be true. Noone in their right mind would leave a
system logged onto a specific account just to do backups.
