I want to backup my hard drive one time a week. I like iBackup, its simple and free. I can schedule it to do the backup, lets say, on Wednesday at noon. No problem. But to make sure that happens, I have to set it as a program that will run upon login. I wouldn't mind this so much but 1) I like to leave as much memory free as I can, and this take memory up the other 6 days a week, and 2) When open, iBackup sits in the dock. <br> <br> I guess an alternative would be how to hide the dock icon full time. But i'd rather just have it run from startup on the day I specify.<br> <br> Thanks tag:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.37253 Sat, 29 Apr 2006 14:35:44 -0800 apple dock hide iBackup mac osx startup Chuck Cheeze
