Hello,
Every night we run a backup on all the computers using xp's backup utility and the windows scheduler. every week or two the job stops running and we get the following error

The attempt to retrieve account information for the specified task
failed; therefore, the task did not run. Either an error occurred, or no
account information existed for the task.
The specific error is:
0x8004130f: No account information could be found in the Task
Scheduler security database for the task indicated."

Looks to me like it is having trouble accessing the user account (perhaps the service account) that it is set to run under. I have heard about this being an issue particularly on machines that were upgraded to XP.

Have you tried removing the task and re-setting it up assigned to an account configured expressly for running the task (and, of course with all the required permissions)?

Yes I have and the problem is not with permissions.
The job runs fine for weeks then it stops with this error
