Backup Double Password failure

G

Guest

I run "backup" on all my XP client machines. I set a weekly backup to copy "my
documents" to a BIG hard drive on another machine.

When I schedule the backup for weekly or daily, it quickly asks me for a
username and password/password. Ok, I can accept that. Then when I finish
and say "next" it asks me again! Username and password/password. Odd, but ok
I can accept that. I give it the same password as the user who logs in
(administrative rights) and all is well. (I will detail this below)

Well, there is one machine. The first set of passwords are rejected (!)
with the error message from Task Scheduler: "An error has occurred while
attempting to set task account information. The specific error is:
0x80070005: Access is denied. You do not have permission to perform the
requested operation."

If I continue on, it asks for the second set of passwords (and accepts
them!) and schedules the task, which failes to run....

I postulate that the second set just gets it on scheduler, and the first set
allows it to run/access files and MS has never wanted/been able to/been
prevented from assigning someone to design the program right. (Although I
sense some change since the orgional program was written)

Do you have any ideas why this "good" password may fail? Offline folders?

Detail:

Start,Programs,Accesssories,system tools, backup and run the program on
your machine and you can follow along with me on this.

Next (Wizzardmode), backup files and settings, my documents and settings,
then anywhere you want to put the backup-and any name. That "next" brings you
the to completing the Backup or Restore Wizard . . . . and there is an
advanced button.

Pushing the advanced button, Normal-Next, Next, Replace-Next, Later -
Jobname "set schedule" - choose weekly, time date etc, OK. Here is the first
"Set Account Information" box. It is this one that fails for only my
bookkeeper. After I finish this box, am am done with the window and I click
Next. This is the second spot. (This "Set Account Information" box works (or
at least it humors me by not giving me any error messages and lets me
proceed.


The user is logging in with a Domain login, Administrator rights. (I.e. I
built the computer, logged her in, logged in as Administrator and added her
domain user to the local computer to the group "administrators"

I have exactly the same problem -

recently had to rebuild a machine which i am using to store files, ha
a comprehensive set of scheduled backups running before - but now
despite setting them up they do not seem to be running.

i have the exact same double password request - after the firs
password attempt i get the error:

"an error has occurred while attempting to set task accoun
information.
the specific error is:
0x80070005: access denied
you do not have permission to perform the requested operation"

would really really appreciate some help on this issue - NEED to ge
these backups working again ASAP!!!

muchos appreciated :-

FOUND A SOLUTION...

try going into control panel - scheduled tasks -

then select your scheduled backup

then tick the box that says "run only when logged in"

just doing a test now and seems to be working OK :-
