Scheduling not working

It seems I am not able to set a schedule on backup job.
I set the job to run at everyday at 19:00. Eveything looks normal, however in the scheduler summary I keep reading
Next run time: Never
Last run time: never
and infact the job does not run, but runs if activated manually. I tried to delete the entry in task scheduler (that works ok, by the way) and rebuild the fbackup scheduler, but no success. What am I doing wrong?
Note: "status" remains emtpy: if I remember correctly, when tht thing worked, should it not be something like "the job is ready to run at next..."?

Hi,

1. What version of FBackup do you use?
2. Do you use a Windows login password?
3. Do you get any error message when configuring the scheduler?

1) using the last available version (9.9 build 1044)
2) job should run in an always active logon session,, i.e. session is always active (pc is our "server")
3) As I said, everything looks normal, no errors whatsoever

Funny(?) thing: if I list the SCHEDULED jobs, it appears... but is not executed...

I don't Know if somebody is interested, but:
1) The job, scheduled every day at 19:00, gets executed at 22:00. I noticed the fact by chance, don't know the reason.There is no notice of "last run success" or similar: I just happen to notice the backup in the destination
2)In the scheduler summary I keep reading
Next run time: Never
Last run time: never
status: (blank)
Strange behavior, even if it seems to work.

Hi,

The scheduler should run as configured. It seems to be something in your case, that delays the scheduler.
