Hello,
When i create and schedule a backup using ntbackup, it never runs. Below is
a copy of the task scheduler log. I am using an Iomega Internal rev 35-90
drive, backing up on 6 gb of data.

backup destination is : File
backup media or file name : E:\backup.bkf

"Full Server Backup.job" (ntbackup.exe) 3/16/2005 9:33:00 PM ** ERROR **
        The attempt to retrieve account information for the specified task failed;
therefore, the task did not run. Either an error occurred, or no account
information existed for the task.
        The specific error is:
        0x8004130f: No account information could be found in the Task Scheduler
security database for the task indicated.

Thanks Much
