Hi.

I'm trying to schedule Toast Lite 5.0.2L to backup a folder onto a CD every 6 hours.

So far, I've written:

code:

---

set theItem to "HD:Folder"

tell application "Toast Lite 5.0.2L"

add to current disc

item theItem

write current disc

end tell

But it doesn't seem to work.

Can anyone please help me?

Thank you!

Kind regards

Krishan.

Hi again.

I've written more now...

code:

---

set thedate to current date

set ztime to (time of thedate)

set datestring to day of thedate & " " & month of thedate & " " & year of thedate

set DBbackupname to "DB" & " " & datestring & ";" & " " & ztime

tell application "Finder"

make new folder at folder "HD:Desktop Folder:TempBackup:" with properties {name:DBbackupname}

copy items in folder "HD:Databases:" to folder ("HD:Desktop Folder:TempBackup:" & DBbackupname)

end tell

set DB to ("HD:Desktop Folder:TempBackup:" & DBbackupname) as alias

tell application "Toast Lite 5.0.2L"

activate

close tray

with timeout of 30000 seconds

add to current disc items DB

write current disc as session without ejecting

end timeout

quit without saving

close tray

end tell

Now I just need to get this to run every 6 hours... krishan.

Try iDo Script Scheduler. It can be found in the extras folder in any recent Mac OS install CD.

Thanks. I'll check it out!

But my script runs great now.

just added

code:

---

on idle

...my above script...

return 360 * minutes

end idle
