Is this function being started within a form? or are you wanting to start this function when windows loads?

Or is it like wanting to run a backup after so many minutes in the background?

Well, that's not that hard to do. What you want to do is add a Timer to your form and set it's Interval to 1000 ms (equals 1 sec).

(An article on Timer's can be found here: Pre-beginner's guide to using a timer[^])

Then, when it ticks, you start up a BackgroundWorker and tell it to do what you want. I suggest looking up BackgroundWorker on google, or in the articles here. A good start might be:

BackgroundWorker Threads and Supporting Cancel[^]

or here:
Beginners Guide To Threading In .NET Part 5 of n[^]

The BackgroundWorker is a bit much to get into in a quick answer, but there is a ton of information available on the web.
