Yeay! It works, I'm a happy geek! So after that I created a quick scheduled task. Ran it as my user, only when I'm logged on, scheduled daily (when I'm at lunch since I have to be logged on). The Actions tab has a gotcha. Set it to 'Start a Program'. The program name is PowerShell.exe, but the arguments are "-command c:\<path>\BackMeUp.ps1" (without quotes). Conditions and settings are pretty much whatever you want.
