Scheduler Not Working

[tmilliken]

Since upgrading to 7.4 Professional, the scheduler is not working. I tried to create a new schedule and used the administrator password. when I finished, I get the error: Could not create scheduled task. Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password. I know I have the right password and the user is prefilled and correct. If I select only when user is logged on, I can see the task in the task scheduler and I am going to test to see if it works tonight. This is on Server 2008 R2. Any suggestions?

Hi,

Please go to Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Task Scheduler.
Go to "Softland->Backup4all 7" folder and try to create a scheduled task there. Can you do that?
If not, please delete these folders and try again from Backup4all to create a new scheduled task.

I'm really disappointed in this release. Almost everything that I need to do is broken.
Can I use my 7.4 license key on 6.x? At least on 6.x the scheduler works.

Thx

P.S. Bumping the version of the product and charging customers to upgrade to a non-functional/less-capable product is immoral as least. Also, support by community forum is generally used by open-source projects. By paying $ one expects better support. Just my 2c.

Dear jperry4wdir,

The scheduled task works fine in version 7 of Backup4all too. It only has to be correctly configured. If you have problems configuring the scheduler, please send us an email to support[at]backup4all[dot]com and give us more details about the case.

You cannot use the key for version 7 with version 6 of Backup4all.

Have the same problem with the scheduler not working on 2 Windows 10 Pro machines. The 4.9 version I migrated from scheduler worked fine. Been 3 days working on this issue and used your faq page on how to schedule and still 7.4 refuses to run the scheduled task. Like others in this thread I would like to just roll back to 4.9 that worked.

@sny11:

Have you tried to create a new scheduled task in version 7?

I did manage to get the scheduler to work. Thanks
