Win8: Local versus Microsoft account
Posted: Wed Dec 03, 2014 1:21 am
I have not seen this topic addressed,. I will try my best to describe.
Recently upgraded from winXp to Win 8 (entirely new computer). I imported my old backup jobs. I started running under a local Win8 Account where i was the administrator. I could change/edit the backup job parameters with no problems (e.g., time to run, files to include/exclude, etc)
For some reason, i decided to change over to a "Microsoft account". The backup jobs did not run the first day., SI, i started tinkering with settings. Apparently i needed to set the user to be my MS ID rather than the local computer ID.
But, my troubles did not end. wanted to update the times and parameters of the backups. When i go in to the job properties and make a change, all the information now disappears. For example, i i edit a schedule, after hitting save, the job disappears. I have no idea how or why other than i cannot explain the interaction between FBU, Win8, Local Accounts and MS Accounts.
Is there a troubleshooting or explanation guide to help me? Am i the only one that tripped over this?
Something is "cached" out there but i am puzzled where to even start looking.
