As to "resources", relatively speaking a timer is much like a flea farting in the desert. It's of no concern.
Windows scheduled tasks. Just setup the task, schedule and point it to your executable. It'll run about anything for you. I use .bat files for all my backups as scheduled tasks. Instead of a notification, I place "pause" at the end of my .bat file which means if it ran, the window will still be open when I unlock my computer. I also use Robocopy most of the time which logs every file backed up, it status etc., how many files were backed up total skipped, total number and GB copied. Here is the last couple few lines from a very long log of yesterday's backup:

Code:
   7	H:\RemoteVSTPlugins\Voxengo Pristine Space VST\Pristine Space Factory Presets\
	    Same  		   29664	2-step 2ch serial insert.fxp	00:25 -> 00:25
	    Same  		   29664	2ch reverb insert.fxp	00:25 -> 00:25
	    Same  		   29664	2ch reverb send.fxp	00:25 -> 00:25
	    Same  		   29664	3-step 2ch serial insert.fxp	00:25 -> 00:25
	    Same  		   29664	Drum ambnc and ovrhds.fxp	00:25 -> 00:25
	    Same  		   29664	True stereo reverb insrt.fxp	00:25 -> 00:25
	    Same  		   29664	True stereo reverb send.fxp	00:25 -> 00:25
	                   0	H:\System Volume Information\
