Hi,
Is there a way to specify when a particular task should stop repeating? For
instance, I need to backup the server in my office once a week for the next
3 weeks, after which the employee in charge will take it over again. Right
now, I just added it as a C-x C-s +1w scheduled task, but this causes it to
show up on my agenda even after the third week. Is archiving this task the
only option?
Avinash.

Marking it DONE also works.

For a task only repeated 3 times, I settled on giving each instance a
separate entry. If it is a complex item with several subitems,
the command org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift command helps a lot.
,----[ (info "(org)Structure editing") ]
| `C-c C-x c'
| Clone a subtree by making a number of sibling copies of it. You
| will be prompted for the number of copies to make, and you can
| also specify if any timestamps in the entry should be shifted.
| This can be useful, for example, to create a number of tasks
| related to a series of lectures to prepare. For more details, see
| the docstring of the command `org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift'.
