Go to "Help">"Contents" from the Main PP menu; select the "Index" tab and type "Backup/Restore" (press return) to get the the "Backup/Restore Utility" Help page. Take a look at the "Command Line" information on how you can automate Backups by specifying a command-line option.

I use Esumsoft's Aeris Calendar for scheduled reminders. :wink:

Just be aware that POP Peeper can't be running when you perform the backup (the various databases won't be able to be backed up, which may or may not really matter to you), which makes automated backups a little more complicated. The best solution may be to use something like AutoHotKey to have POP Peeper exit gracefully, then perform the backup, then restart POP Peeper.
