Back up the farm using power shell

I got a requirement from my client to take the backup of the farm on a weekly basis using automated scheduler.

we do have a standard powershell cmdlet, that helps us in taking the back up of farm using backup-spfarm cmdlet.

We could do the job on a dialy or weekly basis with power shell script and windows task scheduler.

After I searched for some time , I got an excellent blog from http://sharepointpolice.com/ .

Here is the same script , I used for my farm.
