I have an external hardrive attached to my machine and backup works if I do
it "now". If I schedule to run it at night then somehow nothing happens. it
doesnot backup. I cannot understand why it is not backing up. Help - do you
have any suggestions. I do have a password on the account and it asks me
that and I have entered it - but still nothing.
 
Hi,

Try leaving that account logged on.

Control Panel -- Administrative Tools -- Event Viewer -- "Application"
list.

Are there any errors or warnings from Task Scheduler or Backup
application itself -- at the time when backup had to run?
