## Setup Windows ScheduledTask
|
||||
Windows comes with a built-in task scheduler called [ScheduledTask](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/scheduledtasks/new-scheduledtask?view=windowsserver2022-ps). The frontend app is "Task scheduler" (`taskschd.msc`) and we can use PowerShell commands to install a new scheduled task.

1. Inspect the installed ScheduledTasks and make a test run
|

1. Open the app "Task Scheduler" (`taskschd.msc`)
|

1. Go to the local "Task Scheduler Library"

1. Right click on one of the newly installed tasks e.g. `restic_backup` and click "run".

- If the tasks are not there, maybe you opended it up before `make install-schedtask`: just close and start it again to refresh.

1. Now a git-bash window should open running `restic_backup.sh`, and the next time the configured schedule hits!
