Some of the backup programs now available have timing abilities to
"remind" the user to do the backup (Mac: "I want to do a backup, quit
and feed me some disks.").  After setting up the program, all the user
has to do is feed the computer the floppies or turn on the tape drive.
These include FastBack II and Retrospect.

If they don't want to get new software, some macro making software
will wait for a specific time and then go through a sequence of
commands which could include backups.  I know AutoMac III will do
this.
