Hi there

I'm about to place an order for AIS Backup - after struggling with the MS ntbackup (I'm on XP), I'm finding the AIS approach and interface nice and simple to follow - and it handles long file names that cause Handy Backup to fall over !

However, I'm getting this message when trying to run a scheduled backupo through the MS Task Manager.

I think I've followed the instructions properly, but any idea what this error message means?

Thanks a lot

Hi Jim

The account must have a password when running on Windows NT, 2000 & XP. If the account has got a password try looking at the scheduler log file:
  • Control Panel
    Switch to Classic View (if not already)
    Scheduled Tasks
    Advanced / View Log
    look for the line [ ***** Most recent entry is above this line ***** ]
If you cannot figure what is going wrong please post the messages for AISBackup.

Passwords etc all seem to be OK.

The run is now completing OK, although I'm getting an error message in AISBackup that the destination drive Z: cannot be found, so looks like I probably need to look at my drive mapping (I'm backing up across a network).

Will let you know how I get on.

Thanks

Jim
