ntbackup doesn't start

[Nicolas Macarez]

Hi You All
I am running ntbackup on a Win2K Server machine.
Until a few days ago, the scheduler did work fine.
I have recently re-configured the schedule and now it doesn't start at all.
I need to start the backup in the interactive mode - which hopefully works.
Any idea how I can see what's happening? The "report" box is always empty.
Help greatly appreciated.
Nicolas

Just an idea, but what date is the task scheduled to start on? If you
changed the starting time to some time in the early AM and did not change
the start day to tomorrow, the task will never start.
Ask me how I know this )

Hi Nicolas - Open the task, reset the password again, then Apply, OK out.
See if that fixes it.

Hi Louis,
Your idea were perfectly right. I did reschedule the task with a new start
date and it worked fine.
Great thanks. Best regards.
