Start an exe. via Windows Service

Question

I'm currently working on a project to automatize my backup to run only under certain circumstances. Therefor I'm writing a Windows Service in C# using Visual Studios 2015. I already got my requirements set and now I can't get my Service to run sdclt.exe (the Microsoft Default Backup). I already searched for a solution but i only found people saying that Windows Services can't start .exe anymore. Does anyone here have an idea how it might still work?

Thank You

Why can't you simply use Windows Task Scheduler to run your backup? — Filburt, Mar 30 '17 at 10:26
It won't work out of the box due to session 0 isolation, google will tell you! — Bali C, Mar 30 '17 at 11:45

you can create BatchFile that Run sdclt.exe or use System.Thredin.Process to Run that exe. use verbs if require to run with administrator rights.
