Does anybody know of a program or utility that will activate
itself when the system clock hits a certain time.

I wish to back up my DOS 5.0/Windows 3.0 PC after normal 
working hours using the XCOPY routine except I want to do it 
in an un-attendant mode using a script or batch file.  I have
been told that such a program(s) exist on the market,
possibly as shareware.

Any help in this area is greatly appreciated.
