"it didn't work for me" is not a helpful statement.

1. What do you expect?
2. What do you get?

The answer to these two questions could help to help ;)

What would you enter at a command prompt to execute your backup?
"C:\Users\Documents\Backup\*.*" will not copy files.

You have not specified a task to run. The /TR option requires the full path of an executable file. You have merely provided a path search filter.
