EZ-BackItUp will do so, and it has a scheduler for the jobs you create.
Have a look at http://www.rdcomp.net

It's a nice program, but you have to know where your files are, and that's
sometimes not very convenient. I use this program for other uses, but not
for OE.

Hey Jeff!

Yes, but as an "ACF-power user" one should know where the files are, and
it really isn't hard to find the OE address book... and those favorites,
well they are in "Favorites".

EZ-BackitUp is a *very* nice program, and I have it running silently on
the background, running several backup jobs in a week; the only efforts
one has to make is to create the obs (which is fairly simple), and to
make sure there is enough space on the target drive to place the backup
(s) in; all other things the user can forget about, the scheduler will do
that... I like this program very much, and I have tried quite a few!

Looks interesting, however:
"All support and development of EZBack-it-up has been suspended. I have
returned to college to pursue additional knowledge and skills. The
coursework is taking up a very significant portion of my time, and I just
do not have enough time left over to continue maintaining and supporting
this free software. I will resume development and support when feasible."
(Last version November 2004.)

I agree that this is a nice program, and I do use it for many purposes. But
the person asking the question may not be as skilled as you think I am
<grin>.

Which is not necessarilly something bad; after all the program does what
it should do, it works flawlessly, so what further development should
there be?

The OP could be unskilled, however also could be very skilled, and you...
you are super-skilled!!! :p I assume some deeper knowledge of the OS and
where it keeps certain files, unless an OP states he or she doesn't have
that knowledge

There is at least one little nit I wish he would fix -- no matter how you
set up the icon on your desktop, his program opens in a window, where you
can't see much of the information you need to know what the current backup
set it. I want it to start maximized, but nothing helps.

A little nit, but I suspect that there are other features folks will want
down the road.

Ha! Super-skilled! I wish! My skills are incredibly rusty, but time
doesn't allow any more honing.

I have installed it and so far think it is great although a calendar
would be the icing.
