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:
