No, a batch file and the task scheduler are the best way to do it. As to the syntax I've not used mysqlhotcopy but most of the mysql programs will display help if you enter no parameters to invalid parameters. (or the parameter --help)

I understand that I need to create a .BAT file that contains the command to run hotcopy but I'm a bit confused as to the syntax. What do I need to have in the .bat file to run hotcopy ? And is there a better way to run an automated backup ?
