I'm using Windows XP Professional on 4 computers. I'm
attempting to setup and run a regularly schedulled backup
onto a CDRW. The CD burner is setup on one of the four
computers, over a peer to peer network. I can see and
read the CDRW.

I schedule the backup but the Task Scheduller never
initiates the Backup Program. Any suggestions?

What backup program are you using? If it is the default program included
with XP, this program will not back up to a CDRW drive. The backup must be
to a folder on the hard drive and then that file can be burned to a CD.
