Problems Scheduling BackUp

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.perform_maintain (More info?)

I have a question about BackUp utility under System Tools. Works great as Run
Now option, but I'm having trouble with scheduling as recurring task. Task
shows up on Scheduled Task list, but hasn't run. Error message is: "... task
did not run because an incorrect password or user name was entered."

I do not use passwords (single user on my machine), so left that field blank
during that step of the wizard.

Can someone help?

None of the schdules tasks will run without a user name or a
password......create one!!

How?

When I do this, will my system require a password to log on all the time, or
just to run backup?

When you do thid your system will require a password to log on unless you
have PowerToys
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx
There ia a setting in power toys where the system will boot right to the
desktop.
I am sure you'll find it

Did you find a way to advoid using a password for backups?
I have the same issue. I hope there is a way to trun off the password
required option for backups.
By the way you do not need power toys to 'auto login' if you do have a
password assigned to your id. You can make 1 - 3 registry changes - easily
to
do the same thing.
