Hey Shane
What I have grown accustomed to in a program I use to image my hard drive and certain files every night, is it will email me the results (successful or failed back up). I don't know how involved you want this to be, if emailing is out of the question then maybe some kind of notification in the system tray. I'm not quite sure what would be best for the masses.

Email would be big to add. SSL, smtp protocol. I never wrote one from scratch which means I would need a 3rd party DLL, which I would have to pay for.
As for the pop ups I thought of that as well. Except one problem.
When running the program under the system account from the task scheduler you dont see the program, because it is being ran as the System account and not the account logged in. So a pop up wouldn't work their either since it wont show.
Only thing I can think of would be to have it right a file to locaiont like the desktop for all users. But that too is kind of pointless.

Yeeeaaaaahhhhh lets just scratch that idea lol. Sounds to involved to keep the program free.

You could add another line to backupinfo.txt which is the full path name to the file, something like:
Marker: \windows\tweakBack_yyyymmdd-hhmmss
where tweakBack_yyyymmdd-hhmmss (or any unique name) is generated by your backup program during the backup process. Then dos_restore.cmd could read that info from the backupinfo.txt file to know what to look for with this backup.
