Scheduled backups

[Steve W]

Hi,

I'm using Windows 2000 Server, SP4.
I can't get it to run a scheduled backup. If I go through the wizard, or
schedule it directly, the jobs are just ignored, and nothing happens. I can
do an immediate backup no problem.
I've also tried saving a backup job file and trying to start that using
Windows Scheduler, but that doesn't work either, its ignored.

All help welcome!

Start with something simple, e.g. by scheduling
this batch file:

@echo off
echo %date% %time% User=%UserName% > c:\test.log
