Backup runs once, then quits.
Running v.5.414 on Lenovo Thinkcentre, Intel Core 2 duo (E6550, 2.33 GHz), Win7 64bit. Scheduled backup does not run. If I change the time, it will run one time, then quit until I change the time again. I have tried uninstall then shutdown/restart and reinstall. Didn't work. I am reluctant to try restore as the last restore point would cause the loss of some installations, none of which caused any immediate change in how FBackup ran.

Hi,
Did you select the scheduler to run daily?

Re: Backup runs once, then quits.
Thanks for the reply. Yes, schedule is set as daily. The Win8 computer runs backups just fine, but this one went haywire back in March. Thought I had it fixed once, but after a couple of days it quit starting again. If I reset the time, in the morning or the night before, it will do the backup once, but the next day won't. No failed logs are shown, so apparently it doesn't recognize this as an error -- that, or I'm not looking in the right place.

Re: Backup runs once, then quits.
OK, tried something new. Power management is not set to sleep, just to run Bubbles then idle the monitor. However, I notice the option to "wake computer to run this backup" so I checked it. It ran the backup tonight. Now it just remains to be seen if it will continue to run backups.

Back to square 1! Backed-up properly two days in a row, then today, nada.

I take that back. I thought it ran last night because the computer was shut down, but my wife must have done it, because the log shows last successful as the 26th. Soooo, it only ran onceas usual.

Re: Backup runs once, then quits.
Hi,
Please schedule the backup to run when you are in front of the computer, just for few days and let us know if that works.
