How to check time automatically?

Question

I am writing a backup process.

Step1: User selects 3 times (Tuesday 1am,3am,10am or Everyday 1am,3am,10am)

Step 2: The application should check the time settings and start the backup process automatically.

Is it possible to start the backup process if the application is not running?
