Re: XP Task Scheduler

I was recently hired, so the scheduled backups were setup before I got
here. I would rather not gut and reconfigure all the backups, but only
a handfull of them are working. I've been searching the net for the
past few days trying to find a solution to the problem with no luck.

The way it is setup now, each machine has backup tasks scheduled as an
administrator (and told to run as administrator). The "Run only if
logged on" check is blank/unchecked. In security, the Administrator,
the Administrators group, and the SYSTEM all have full control on every
machine.

The ones that do not work, in the log, say they completed with an exit
code of 0x1f.

All the tasks run as long as I am logged on Administrator.

Please help me from pulling my hair out :)


You need to examine three logs for your backup jobs:
1. The Event Viewer
2. The log file maintained by the Task Scheduler. It's under "Advanced".
3. The log file created by ntbackup.exe (if this is what you use -
you did not tell us). Its a file backup??.log buried deep inside
c:\documents and settings.
This will most likely tell you what's wrong.
