I do my backups with SyncToy and I love it. But one of the greatest weaknesses of making Backups, ,is to forget to run it. I am desperate to find a way to time the running of back ups to happen automatically.
If not possible, it is a great pity in such a great application

You can automate SyncToy by using the scheduler on Win7. Check out this article:

Where the article references a path with SyncToy 2.0 Beta, use this for Windows 7: C:\Program Files\SyncToy 2.1
This works pretty well, I've used this for a few years to make copies of folders at scheduled intervals or at logon/logoff.
