No Hands Scheduling for NT

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Anders Petersson's Freeware Forum : One Thread

Hi, i would like to use this software with scheduled backups om NT4.0 machines. On NT the scheduling doesn't work the way described in the documentation. Does anyone have a (robust) solution to this? (I prefere not to use the 'at' command). Otherwise i'd like to put this to the wish-list for further development of the program.

Hi Tobias.

I don't have a NT machine to test NHB scheduling on. Perhaps I will get across one, otherwise I hope some users will send me a solution.

Hi DragonHeart.

'When sheduled, it comes up to start, but doesnt.' What do you mean? What happens? And error messages?

I'm running NHB on a Small Home Server, Win 2000 Pro. it stops on Screen when shceduled to activate. settings are for, Auto Start; Verify Results; Start Min; and, On Finish Shutdown Program. when sheduled, it comes up to start, but doesnt. Manual Backup works perfect. thanks! for a Super Program! DragonHeart

I tried this with Win 2000 Pro as well and had problems getting it to work automatically through the Scheduled Tasks feature. Anders asked about error messages. I received no error messages but under status in the "scheduled tasks" folder, it shows "could not start" Next line: "Last Result: 0x0" I hope that helps. If you find I fix, I sure could use it. Thx.
