I have laptop running on windows 98. It is not connected to the internet and is not used for emails.
I have a backup programme which is set to run on a Friday afternoon, as a scheduled task.
The programme starts if the computer is running and it is then only necessary to start the backup. However, if the computer is not switched on, the backup does not run and I do not receive a message to say so. I have set the “Notify Me of Missed Tasks” but I am not receiving a message.
What I think is happening is that the programme starts next time the computer is started but runs in the background. Because it requires an action from the user (press the start button), nothing happens, but the task has run and, consequently, there is no missed task to report.
My question is – how can I get a warning message to display, reminding the user to run the backup?
Thanks and regards
John
