Hi,
I'm trying to find a way to get my WHS 2011 to download a backup from my webserver daily. I was planning on running it at night, but have no idea where to start.
I could make a PHP script to do it (?), but getting it to run daily might be tricky without CRON or whatever's used.
I was thinking there might be an add-in, but not seen one yet.
Any ideas? :)

You don't need an add-in. WHS can run a script automatically from the Task Scheduler. Check out this tutorial, it discribes how to start a program automatically. Simply store your script on the server, and complete the dialog wizard to configure your script to run at a daily prescribed time.
