How to STOP Windows XP Backup!?

[Guest]

Before setting up a command line script to run a backup of our server, I set
up the Windows XP Backup utility to do it for me on a daily basis. I am not
too sure what it is doing but the .bkf file has quickly approached 30GB
(which is 5x the amount of data on our server). I need to stop this thing
before it takes over the world.

I ran through most of the wizard, click as many "Advanced Settings" buttons
as I could find and still have not found a 'kill' solution.

Help, please.

Go to Control Panel and double click Scheduled Tasks. You
should find the backup job there. You can delete it if you
want.

FYI, my best guess is that when you set up this job you chose
to append the file to the existing backup instead of replacing
the file.

Good luck
