    Scheduler/trigger events


    Hello,

    I am on Windows 7 enterprise. I use a script to backup my external harddrive to a NAS. (\\NAShome\openshare) (in the script i use "robocopy)

    I want to use the scheduler to run the script WHEN I POWER ON THE NAS.. This should be possible with trigger-event. I just can't figure out which one...

    Do you know which event/trigger? Or do you know a site which explains the triggers in the scheduler?

    ?

    That's the kind of thing I was thinking of, but where is there a list of all triggers so I can see if there is one for detecting when a device comes online?

    Have you tried the SyncToy 2.1 from Microsoft?:
    Download details: SyncToy 2.1

    It can schedule a task.

    Schedule SyncToy


    While you do not have to schedule SyncToy to use it, some users may find it helpful to schedule recurrent SyncToy runs. Perhaps you have a folder pair that takes a long time to sync and you want to run SyncToy in the middle of the night, for example. SyncToy does not provide a user interface to schedule folder pairs to run at designated times. However, there is a method to schedule tasks using the Microsoft© Windows© operating system.

    Windows Vista/ Win7


    To schedule a task using the operating system:
    1. From the Start menu, select All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - Task Scheduler.
    2. Select Create Basic Task in the Actions pane on the right.
    3. Add a Name and Description and select Next.
    4. Choose when you want the task to start and select Next.
    5. Choose date/times (if applicable) to run task and select Next.
    6. Choose Start a Program option and select Next.
    7. Select Browse and locate the SyncToyCmd.exe.
    8. Type "-R" in the Add Arguments textbox. –R all by itself will run all folder pairs that are active for run all. If you want to run just a single folder pair, add –R “My Pair” to the end of the command line.
      Note: If the folder pair name contains a space, surround it with quotation marks, as the example above shows. For another example, assume that SyncToy is in the folder named C:\Program Files\SyncToy 2.1\ and that you want to run a folder pair named "My folder pair." Enter the command line as follows, including the quotation marks: "C:\Program Files\SyncToy 2.1\SyncToyCmd.exe" -R "My folder pair." Note that there are two sets of quotation marks in this case: one is around the path to the SyncToy program file and the other surrounds the folder pair name.
