Win7 shutdown backup via GPE?

I'm trying to create a backup of specific files & folder at end of day shutdown which I believe can be done with a batch file & group policy editor in Win7 Pro.


I'm not that familiar with batch files or GPE, but it doesn't look too daunting, the only issue I have is that the backup would have to be configured to run only if some time based criteria were met - something along the lines of only occurring between the hours of X & Y, not outwith. This is simply to prevent the backup running inadvertently should a shutdown be required during the working day.


Is this possible using GPE?


(I've also got Acronis True Image, but from what I can make out it's a bit dumb / limited on shutdown options)


Thanks.
