How to backup Windows Scheduled Tasks
How can I backup and restore the Windows 7 Scheduled Tasks? I'd want to be able to restore the tasks on any other Windows 7 box.
I've found the Tasks folder in Windows, but is a simple copy/paste going to work?
I found this post but it's relating to Windows 2003 and thus might not be applicable to Windows 7?

hi,
you can use the schtasks command such as:
schtasks /query /XML>mytasks.xml
This will export all tasks from the system into an xml file.
More info here:

I would probaly export the tasks which are really needed on the other machine individually using the /TN switch
you can then import the task via the Scheduled Tasks interface or with the /create switch.
hope this helps
