Thanks for that suggestion Michael. I hadn't poked around in 2008 scheduled tasks yet and see they've added a lot of new features. I think the problem is that the script needs to execute whenever the backup server tells it to, rather than at a specified time. I see that a task can be set to run on command, but wouldn't this also have to be executed locally too? schtasks doesn't appear to have any remote options available.
