i can run a backup on my xp home but if i try and
schedule a backup it does not run. Is this a xp home
problem?
 
To use the task scheduler you must use an account with a password. No
password, no jobs will run.

There may be workarounds for this on the XP expert web sites.

cp
 
Running Scheduled Tasks without a password:

For Pro: Start/Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Local Security
Policy/Local Policies/Security options. In the right hand pane (third down).

Accounts: Limit local account use of blank passwords to console logon only.
This is enabled by default, disable it.

For Home: Run Scheduled Task without a Password (Line 68)
