I get the attached error notice when trying to input a scheduled task to
backup everyones files and folders from my C: drive to my E: partition.
I can backup the files OK manually but the auto-backup fails to start. (I
set it to do it on a weekly basis).
I also am not sure whether to set the backup type to Normal or Incremental
for the first and subsequesnt backups, I don't see any setting to do a full
backup and then increment afterwards.
I tried going to safe mode but this module can't be accessed in safe mode.
(As far as I can tell here anyway!)

Um... peter? Most folks here aren't going to open any attachments. You'd
be better off posting the error text.

Well as it was only a small .jpg and it showed anyway at the bottom of the
post.....what do I say.
Anyway, thanks guys. I solved it by inputting a user password on both my
user name and the AT Control in Task Scheduler. The first automated backup
occured about an hour ago.
