I use mySQL Administrator that I downloaded from the mySQL web site. I use it on Win2k server too and it can be scheduled (within the program) to create any type of backup you like! It does take a few minutes (2-3) to configure.

This program told me that at first to, it’s part of the initial configuration. If I recall you have to go to Tools, Options, General, then select “Obscured Storage” for password storage method. I think the error message tells you what to do.
