Can't schedule backup jobs

Post by GregW »

I get Access Denied warning when trying to schedule backups. It worked in the previous trial version I was using so I purchased the new one. Now it will do manual backups, but not scheduled ones. Using Windows 8.1. Any tips would be appreciated.

Got it figured out. It had to do with admin rights even though there should not have been a problem.

How did you sort it?

I'm having trouble with scheduled bacups in v6

If i schedule the backup tp run as myself the log says I'm not an administrator when I am.

If I try to schedule the job to run as the Administrator account I get a pop up sauing "could not create scheduled task. Access is denied"

Hi,

After you create a new scheduled task to run under your user name, please also select the "Run with highest privileges" option.
Do you still have the problem?

I also have this problem: I scheduled a job for daily, used my Windows p/w, success. I then try scheduling the same job weekly, except FULL backup, used my Windows p/w no probem during the set-up; but when trying to save the schedule (Finish), access denied! A real head-scratcher! :? Previously, less than an hour ago, I was able to schedule like this with another job (daily and weekly). Is there any way an expert could look over my settings remotely?

Hi,

Did you used the same user account?
Can you manually create a new scheduled task in Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Task Scheduler?
(under Task Scheduler Library->Softland->Backup4all 8)

Hi,

Please close Backup4all and go to Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Task Scheduler.
Delete the "Softland->Backup4all 8" folder from the Task Scheduler Library.
Open Backup4all and try again to schedule a backup job.
Do you still have the problem?

Hello,

the same error, I deleted the task and folders, open the Backup4all and try to create the task schedule.

The same error "Is not posssible to create the schedulel task. Access Denied"

In the Task schedule the folders Softland->Backup4all 8 has been create again.
