      hi Jeremy, 
first, i dont have a clue on scripting so i need to make a couple of questions to you

is this script to back up with keeping the entire path if restore is needed, and how it should be restored? also is there a way to check the last time modified and depending on it back it up and then remove the file?
thanks...

      This script uses the standard windows backup utility to back-up the system state files.

The files are stored with their full paths and will (by default) be restored to exactly where they came from.
