XP Backup Questions

[Kevin]

With the baic backup program that comes with NT/2000 and
XP, can I backup to a Iomega Zip750 drive? Specifically,
can I schedule a backup to run at any time to this drive?

If I manually run a backup, it appears to run and restore
fine. If I schedule the backup, it doesn't run at all.
I've tried this on three XP workstations now, and all have
the exact same problem. My thinking is that somehow I'm
scheduling the job incorrectly, but the same job works
fine on Windows 2000?

Where should I start troubleshooting this?

The person scheduling the job logs on with a password, correct?

From Help & Support;
When you create a task, you must provide a user name and a password, thus setting the security context in which the task can run. Multiple users of a computer can each have their own scheduled tasks.

Once a user name and password are set, another user cannot cancel or delete the task unless the user has the correct permissions.

Notes

a.. You must enter a user name in the Scheduled Task Wizard before you can finish scheduling a task.
b.. You can change or set a new password by selecting the Open advanced properties for this task when I click Finish check box on the final page of the wizard. Passwords are not required.
