Hi!
I noticed some kind of bug in the scheduler-system of fb. After creating a backup it's not possible to schedule this task in the same step. Under Windows 2008 Server, using the windows task scheduler, it results in an error (StringToOrd in german interface, slightly different in english interface). This is probably caused by the name which fb chooses for new, yet unnamed backups. It contains a blank. After saving the job without a schedule (renaming it to a name without blanks or something) you can edit it and add a job properly.
There's no problem in Windows 7. Just spottet it under 2008 Server.

Hi,
I was able to reproduce the problem here and we will fix it.

Do you know you can monitor your backups remotely with Backup4all Monitor? You can read more here: https://www.backup4all.com/backup4all-monitor.html

Hi,
Do you have the same problem no matter if you use the Windows scheduler or the Built-in scheduler option?

Hi,
Do you have the latest version of FBackup 4.8.289 installed?

Do you use a Windows login password?

Can you manually create a scheduler task from Windows? in Control Panel, Task Scheduler.

Hi,
If you can create scheduled tasks manually, you should try to create one to run the backup job of FBackup.
