Hi TBUDL,
Because I recently had to restore TB! from a 2 month old backup, I
decided to use the Scheduler to have TB! do a nightly incremental
backup. I set it up to run at 01:45 a.m. each night and to send an
email immediately upon completion from one account to another using a
template that reports the time and date of the successful backup.
When I execute this recurring event from the Scheduler, it performs
exactly as I designed it. It does the backup, creates and sends the
email, and the email reports exactly what it should. Therefore, I
conclude from this that the event is set up properly.
However, my problem is that the event isn't triggered automatically.
When I examine the properties of the event, everything looks like it
is set up properly, so I must be overlooking something. Here's what is
on each tab of the properties of the event:
General tab: Description: "Backup TB! each night." Start Friday,
August 11, 2006 at 01:45 a.m. Duration is 1 hour. Nothing else is
checked.
Actions tab: Execute these actions when event starts = Backup, and
Execute these actions when event finishes = Create/Send message.
Recurrence tab: Repeat this event every 1 Day. Stop repeating this
event = Never.
Advanced tab: Event occurs according to these rules: Time = 01:45 a.m.
Days = Every day, Week = Every week, and Months = Every month.
Links tab: Has nothing set.
Categories tab: Has nothing set.
Can you tell me what to change to cause this event to trigger
automatically every night as it should? I'll reiterate that if I
manually cause this scheduled event to execute immediately, it does
everything just exactly as it should.
Thanks for any suggestions you may have.
