Jo-Anne-
I use ERUNT to create 5 days worth of backups & found out how to do this
somewhere in the README files.
You go to Start/All Programs/Starup & then scoll to ERUNT AutoBackup. Right
click on this & go to Properties.
This is what's in the Target window on mine:
"C
Program Files\ERUNT\AUTOBACK.EXE" %SystemRoot%\ERDNT\AutoBackup\#Date#
/noconfirmdelete /noprogresswindow /days:5
note: the space after noprogresswindow & then the /days:_ switch in the
Target window
I wish I could point you to the place where I found this but I cannot, for
the life of me, find where I saw this.
