No Scheduled Backup

[TimTang]

Is there some sort of bug with Windows2000 with respect to scheduled tasks?

I've tried setting up automated backups with the built in backup software and every time a task is supposed to kick in it never does.

I've also tried to automate the McAfee DAT update's using FTP and it's the same thing: it never kicks in. If I hit the update now button it works perfectly, so it's not a connection problem.

Is this a known problem with Windows2000 or is there some setting I'm not aware of or some utility that must be installed?

With Novell 4.1 I never had this problem. It seems silly that something as fundamental as this wouldn't work in Win2000; I thought that's what computers were for.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I have had simular problems and don't know if I just held my breath long enough or what but if I did NOT use the the wizard when setting up a backup it has seemed to be successful. I suggest you stand on your right foot and sing a love song to the CPU when creating the backup. Hopefully it will work for you.
