I spoke too soon. Having had a solid week of the system shutting down as expected, I've just had a solid week of it not shutting down! Nothing has changed - except a Windows update. I've just rechecked in Task Scheduler and found that 'run with highest privileges' was unchecked and that the 'configu...

I thought I'd provide an update in case it helps others trying to do the same thing. I did ensure that the 'scheduled task (was) configured to run with highest privileges' as per Adrian's suggestion. I still couldn't get the laptop to shutdown after a successful back-up either using the in-built <sh...

I have two identical back-up jobs. One is scheduled (due to start at 23:59:00) the other is manual. When i run the manual job the computer is shutdown upon success - as per the job properties. This is despite me logging out (using the windows key+L) and leaving the PC to it. When the same job is ini...

Hi, I currently have B4A v7.5 and am trying to get my head around using the command line. Background: I currently have three jobs (let's call them 'local ftp', 'onedrive' and 'Gdrive') which i use on rolling basis. When i leave my home office in the evening instead of shutting down I initiate the ap...

I'm pleased to report that, following some direct correspondence with support, they have supplied me with a version of Backup4all (v7.4 build 475) which has resolved these issue for both OneDrive and Goggle Drive.

Top effort chaps. Thanks.

Funnily enough, after having not tried onedrive since the post, I tried it again last night. It worked - the PC was shut down (shuts down on success) and the log files indicated success!). This is with V7.4 build 461. I can only assume something changed in the build. However, when i opened Backup4al...

I had exactly the same problem last year. You can see the thread under the title 'Btray and Shutdown'.

In the end i used a workaround. I created a 'shutdown.bat' and run that.

My shutdown.bat is a simple text file with one line: shutdown -s -f -t 15 -c "shutting down"

It works!

An update: Overnight I backed up to Goggle Drive. Having set-up the Goggle Drive account via 'File --> Options --> online destinations'. Running the backup seemed fine. This morning I noticed that the PC hadn't shut down (as it should do upon the successful completion of a backup) and i was being pr...

Hi, have successfully in the past backed up to OneDrive without an issue - most recently 22nd July. However, I recently came back from an extended holiday and find that the onedrive backup is no longer working and i wonder if an upgrade has broken it. I'm currently running Backup4all Professional 7....
