Thanks for the reply. So it should be possible. I have been trying this.
I have been using valid usernames and passwords. The scheduled backup runs
as scheduled, however, when I look at the file all the folders are empty (No
entries found). The report also verifies that no files were backed up. It
works fine if I schedule it to run while I am logged into the machine, if I
schedule it to run on start up or at log on, however, not while I am not
logged in.
Could it be how I am entering the username? When I schedule the back up it
supplies the username for me and I leave it alone. The format is
"computername\username". Should I simply be using the username? I am a bit
perplexed.
Thanks for any input.
