Abstract
A system and method for automatically archiving data from a computer system to a backup system. The system provides a scheduler, connected to an automated backup mechanism, for scheduling when full backups are performed and when incremental backups are performed. A simple user interface is provided to ensure that once the end user has enabled the system, daily automatic backups will be performed without further input from the end user.
