Make the export planned with wp_schedule_event

Hello,

i need to make a XML backup file with the export function, one time per day in a special directory of my blog.

can i use wp_schedule_event for that?

<?php wp_schedule_event(time(), 'daily', 'the_generator('export')'); ?>

this is good? but how to add the directory where to put the file?

bye
