jmwills Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 That should fix it and explains why a manual backup was running but not the scheduled backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer-S Posted October 28, 2014 Author Share Posted October 28, 2014 OK I tested a lot. 1. I tried the command added here by ikon but this ended up in error. 2. I tried the xml file from jmwills. Now it was getting strange. I tried to save it and it ended up in the same error message as if I tried to setup my own backup-plan. After changing the name/title of the task I was able to save it. But it ended up in an error. I have the fear my external drive is also an issue. It is not listed when I am doing a new backup-plan and try to use it as the target drive ...??!!! Strange things are happening ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmwills Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Save? Do you mean import? That procedure does work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer-S Posted October 28, 2014 Author Share Posted October 28, 2014 (edited) I see it might lead to misunderstanding. Import - window with settings is open - klicking on OK to close the settings is leading to the error message Edited October 28, 2014 by Homer-S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmwills Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 What is the error? There would also be a corresponding error in the Event Viewer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikon Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I was afraid the command I posted wouldn't work. I suspect the alphabet soup part of the command is specific to each installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer-S Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share Posted October 29, 2014 Sorry took some time but here are the error messages in Task planner is written when I klick OK with this name "Microsoft-Windows-WindowsBackup" for the task: "A task or folder with this name is already existing" Changing the name is allowing the OK klick without error in Windows Server Backup is the error message: The settings for the planed backup was not found Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikon Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 jmwills, is it possible he's looking in the wrong place for the task? I can't help but think he's running into the error because the task actually does exist - he's just not seeing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer-S Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share Posted October 29, 2014 (edited) I did a screen shot Something strange when I am opening this is that I receive a error message Task service is not reachable, try to reconnect I have to click it aprox 5 times ok and then I can work with it. to check if I am on the right way The task which you see is the renamed xml import Edited October 29, 2014 by Homer-S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikon Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 OK, that seems to be the right one. It's odd that you have to click it more than once to get to it. What happens if you right-click on the task and select Run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
