Ghost 10.0 batch file

Hi
Has anyone experience writing batch files for ghost 10.0 yet? I would like to clone c: to the f: daily on a schedule. Ghost 10.0 doesn't seem to allow scheduling of a disk copy. Is there a way to do this? I'm thinking it needs to be a batch file.
Basically I'd like to be able to plug in the f: and boot into windows xp if there is ever a problem with the c:
So I need a complete image.
I did see the tutorial here:
http://ghost.radified.com/automated_batch.htm
but I'm not sure if this will do what I want, or if it evn applies to Ghost 10.0
Thanks for your input everybody!

So far the best I've been able to come up with is using autohotkey (
www.autohotkey.com
) to create an executable that starts ghost, clicks the appropriate options, and starts the disk copy.
I can schedule this with the xp task scheduler, but I'm looking for a more elegant solution.
Also, if the computer is asleep, and the hd turns off, the task scheduler doesn't execute.
Thanks,
J

Autohotkey is the bomb. It saved me from getting RSI injuries at work.
I know Ghost 2004 had a scheduler built in, but I could never trust it. Isn't there an option in Task Scheduler where you can choose to "Wake this computer to perform this task"?

There is such an option. I think that will help. Also keeping the machine from going to standby will help. (They can be such a pain to wake up.)
My biggest concern about using autohotkey is trust. Currently it seems to work (ask me again next week) but what if the drives came up in a different order in ghost? Then couldn't ghost clone the wrong data over the boot drive? Maybe I'm going too far out on a limb here..
