Using a batch file for Windows Backup

[torontoraptor]

So recently I got tired of waiting for my computer to finish backing up before I could shut it down. Having not much else to do with my time, I decided to write a batch file to automatically run backup and then shutdown my computer. After teaching myself batch syntax and some troubleshooting, I have it almost completly working. Except for the backup itself. I try using the wbadmin start backup command, but it returns an error (with no parameters its supposed to run the regular backup). Does anyone know where I can find the settings for my regular windows backup so I can copy it, or some other way I can input the command?

What error message do you get, exactly? Are you running the batch file as an administrator? Does "Wbadmin get items" do anything?

[torontoraptor]

It says I'm missing the backup target parameter, which I am, since I'm trying to just use the regular backup settings. Yes to running as admin, wbadmin get items properly returns old backups when I specify them.

Hmm. And you have created a scheduled daily backup, like it says?

Well, I did try setting the backup to once a day, but it still didn't work then. I'm not sure if there is a different specific thing they're referring to.
