From Command Line or similar? I need to make backups regularly and processing it manually takes much time - would be perfect to have the possibility to put all parameters in a command and run it from Windows CMD. Rgrds k.

To backup an individual account, make a copy of the account subfolder. TB keeps very few non-essential things outside the mail folder. So if you have WinRAR or another archiver with command line support, you can schedule archiving of the mail folder(or do it manually), with various options - like to update the existing archive to create a new one containing only files modified in the last X days etc.
