    Ok, here's a mystery: Auto scheduling MsBackup doesn't work under XP. Works fine with manual execution. Worked fine before XP. What gives?

    Can setup a schedule but it displays a status of never run. "Could not start "

    Any help on this one? Have searched threads but can't find answer.

    Backing up critical data files to 250M Zip.

    Probably trying to run without adequate permissions. Try running it with an admin account.

    I only have one account that I use... and it is as admin. Is there something I am missing?

    Devil is in the details

    Finally figured this one out...changed zip from drive letter G to Z after installing XP Pro and scheduler did not track the change in the RUN command.:rolleyes:
