# Backup Reminder - Simple reminder that shows a 'reminder dialog' every Interval hours set from an Anchor hour. A JScript script command that showcases the new [OnScheduledTimer](https://docs.dopus.com/doku.php?id=reference:scripting_reference:scripting_events:onscheduledtimer) Event. Great for learning DO scripting. ##### V 1.12 23-02-2025 : 720 hour version (30 days) [Reminder.opusscriptinstall](https://resource.dopus.com/uploads/short-url/lSVlHkCShQBY4pAPtNTj3ZjViqd.opusscript) (22.7 MB) ##### V 1.11 19-02-2025 : fix for image not filling dialog. dialog has to be made resizable to accomadate dialog fonts being tall or wide. _shape (aspect ratio) of dialog (which is square in the resource editor) will change depending on Prefs/Fonts/Dialogs settings._ [Reminder.opusscriptinstall](https://resource.dopus.com/uploads/short-url/cKPelz7w1JaqBeMV1CbzZ0YIMA.opusscript) (22.7 MB) #### Installation see [how-to-use-buttons-and-scripts-from-this-forum](https://resource.dopus.com/t/how-to-use-buttons-and-scripts-from-this-forum/3546) #### Usage Use the commands - `REMINDER` - show the state of the reminder - `REMINDER START` - start the reminder - `REMINDER STOP` - stop the reminder | **Argument** | **Type** | **Values** | **Description** | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | START | /O | - | Starts Reminder using the settings that are set the in script config dialog ![image](https://resource.dopus.com/uploads/default/original/3X/c/1/c147930006e569a64b92f39444e8a1c23ee1c39b.png) | | STOP | /O | - | Stops Reminder.

Where do I find the ![image](https://resource.dopus.com/uploads/default/optimized/3X/a/f/afb8ecbcb318e6493c94bbf33ceb7cc663f7f07c_2_690x36.png) indicator? ---

From the main window, **Settings \> Scripts** will open that. ![image](https://resource.dopus.com/uploads/default/original/3X/7/5/758460aa0fe908d77bebad82c45f4b644a89cdd3.png) If your toolbars date back to an older version, the Scripts item may be missing. If so, go to **Settings \> Customize Toolbars and Keys** , then the **Default Toolbars** tab, and you can drag any items you want from there to your real toolbars. Alternatively, it can also be found under **Preferences / Toolbars / Scripts** , although this is just to maintain continuity with where it is in older versions (scripts aren't really/only about toolbars these days), and the page can be hidden (via an option on the page itself). ---

Any chance you could make 720 hours possible? ---

Thanks. I will find out, if Reminder would remind me of my monthly system backup (although for now i have set it to 360 hours).
