I am trying to run a backup with Windows 2000 ( to another hard drive on my network). I can do it manually without any problem, but when I set up a schedule, the backup doesn't run. I have the Task Scheduler service enabled.

Has any one any idea of the obvious thing I have forgotten to do.

Thanks in advance for any help.

PS I've ensured that RPC is running.

For the Schedule job make that you enter the correct user name and password (one with access to the other drive) in run as dialog and password. Also check if the job is enable.
Also try right click the job and choose run. It must run immediately without any problem.
If it didn't run then there is a problem with the job itself, delete it and recreate it.
If it run, then you can try setting the time of the job to run after two and three minutes and watch it. If everything is ok set the time back to original Schedule.
Hope this help
