[dba-Tech] Scheduled Backup not firing

Dan,

I bought a backup package (acronis) but it only runs on "workstations".  I
am trying to do this on my Windows Home Server which is based on Windows
2003.  Once you step up to server products it is expected that you have
million dollar IT budgets and the utilities can cost 10 times as much.

Hi John,

I use Ghost 9 - and it doesn't suck.

Look through all the tabs/pages/properties of your scheduled task - they are
not completely intuitive.

I have a daily scheduled backup that should be running every afternoon.  The
schedule says it should take place but there is only a single file in the
backup directory and it is dated the first day that I set these up.  I can
see a "month" in the backup utility and it shows daily events.  

Any clue why it wouldn't fire?
How do I just say "run this event"?  I can't seem to just say "do this
backup job".
Why are Microsoft's utilities so sucky?

8-)
