    Hello (I took too much time so have to post again as I could not edit in time).

    Can anyone locate Ztruker's argument for ERUNT?
    I think below is correct but my spaces may be off:

    Arguments(optional). %systemroot%\erdnt\autobackup\#date# /noconfirmdelete /noprogresswindow /days:5

    Space after #date# and before /nonconfirmdelete

    Space after /nonconfirmdelete and before /no progresswindow

    Space after /no progresswindow and before /days:5

    *I assume I just enter this command, as is, for the argument, and dates are created when I run ERUNT?

    Hello
    Would that argument fumction with the following link or will there be a conflict. I notice Ztruker said he removed the schedule, I believe is how he put it?
    I ask because I could not really read the argument at the link.
    I thought the video was good but I am leery about the argument.

    Your spaces are correct, Except, there is no space in noprogresswindow.

    If you have plenty of disk space, I suggest that you increase days to at least 10, or even 15.
    (I have mine set to 31, but that's pretty high)

    Also, I do not use /noprogresswindow so that I can tell that the backup is working and I know When it is being done.

    As you noted, this is just the argument list, Not the command to run the auto backup (autoback.exe).

    The #date# argument creates a folder with the current date as the folder name.

    Hello
    Your keen eyes picked up on my typo as I did not mean to have a space within noprogresswindow - thank you for that.

    Two weeks sounds reasonable. Can you also have system restore working?

    Could you briefly tell me what no progress window's inclusion as opposed to its exclusion means?
    For example, I know you said you can tell that it is working but is that the only way?

    Thank you

    Yes, absolutely. IMHO, do not disable System Restore. It does more than what ERUNT does.

    When noprogresswindow in 'On', you won't be able to tell that autobackup is working, unless you happen to notice a little
    extra disk activity during that boot up process.

    The progress window is just a popup that will be visible for a few seconds while ERUNT creates the backup.

    I see.
    You can go to the ERDNT folder to view your backups by date or occasion, correct?
    The ERUNT folder can be used to perform a mechanical backup, corrct?

    By default, All of the ERUNT backups go into the ERDNT folder.
    The AUTOBACKUP folder is In the ERDNT folder and contains only the automatic backups.

    If you make a manual backup, it will be put into a new separate folder in the ERDNT folder.
    They do not get mixed up with the automatic backups.

    Thank you for the information.
    I think I posted the following video in Major Geeks but am not sure.
    What do you think of its probability of a successful backup and recovery? Recoveries are never shown which is unnerving a bit.
