You can use the backup tool under Programs-Accessories-System Tools-Backup. It has a schedule tab. This webpage might help http://www.veritas.com/us/products/backup/NTutility.html

As far as I know W2K backup supports backing up to tapes. What you might want to consider if you are backing up to CD's is any one of several shareware products. They range from $10 to $70. Most use Adaptec Direct CD. This webaddress is one place to look for these kinds of products: http://www.majorgeeks.com/showfiles.php?cat=3. Partition Magic also offers a backup program to CD's.

Try the link I gave. Most of these either use scheduler or have their own internal process. The difficulty with backing up to CD's is "what do you do when your data spans more than one?"

DirectCD is not bad for CDRW backup. I would not cut too many corners in the backup area though. Data, and keeping it safe is more important than how much you can save. What good is cutting corners when your databackup is corrupted or lost by faulty hardware or half-a$$ software.
