How to automate the full backup process

Thread needs solution

I would like to automate the process of making a full backup of my system partition. I would like the procedure to:
1) Check the drive for errors and bad blocks
2) Run Acronis True Image Home 2010 System Clean-up tool
3) Defragment the drive
4) Perform a Full Backup using Acronis, True Image Home 2010
5) If the backup fails to validate, send me an email
6) Issue the procedure with a single command

What is the easiest way to write a script file that performs these tasks running Windows XP Professional?

Hello KCav,

Unfortunately, it is currently impossible to fulfill all your requirements with Acronis True Image 2010 Home.

You can only do 2 things automatically: schedule a full backup with the software and inform you about the results of the validation.

For more information on how to set up e-mail notifications please refer to the Chapter 19.2 of the User's Guide.

Please let me know if you need any additional assistance.

Thank you.
