scheduler not working

[SK79]

Hi there,

I have a Windows XP box containing some important data & have installed an old hd to act as a simple backup. After configuring the backup program, I configured the schedule to start on Sunday nights at 9:00pm.

For some reason, this hasn't worked. Even when I go into the scheduler and try to manually run the job, nothing happens. Do any of you have any ideas why this could be happening?

See if any of these give you a clue.

Have you got the Task Scheduler service started and running?
