Delay the start of the backup after a Window start

I use Windows XP and Acronis Image Home 2010
Wenn my System missed a scheduled backup, Acronis catched up this backup with the next system start.
During a system start lots of processses are happened like Virus scann, updates etc. Now in addition Acronis backup also starts and the system has a havy overload.
My question:
Is it possible to dalay the Acronis backup start after the system start up for some minutes?

I have just noticed that in W7 there is a timeout command which looks like it come as part of the OS.
TIMEOUT [/T] timeout [/NOBREAK]
Description:
This utility accepts a timeout parameter to wait for the specified
time period (in seconds) or until any key is pressed. It also
accepts a parameter to ignore the key press.
Parameter List:
/T timeout Specifies the number of seconds to wait.
Valid range is -1 to 99999 seconds.
/NOBREAK Ignore key presses and wait specified time.
/? Displays this help message.
NOTE: A timeout value of -1 means to wait indefinitely for a key press.
Examples:
TIMEOUT /?
TIMEOUT /T 10
TIMEOUT /T 300 /NOBREAK
TIMEOUT /T -1
so you could try a batch file with:
timeout /t 3600 /nobreak > nul
to wait 5 minutes - adjust the time to your liking naturally
I have not tried this BTW so feedback appreciated
I know this is a Windows XP thread but that was not included in the description so others may find this snippet useful.
