Options mostly will not 'Stick'
7 times out of 10 I have to redo my options even though I click 'Save as Default'. This has been happening the last few weeks, before that it was OK.

Thank you Steve,
I only make full images a couple of times a week. I click 'Do not schedule', Backup Scheme is 'Custom and backup method is 'Full', Notifications works perfectly when I tick 'Send Test message', I accept default 'Exclusions' and tick 'Validate backup when it is created' and then click 'Save as Default'. But next time I have to enter all this data again, maybe a reinstall is called for?

The Save as default only applies to scheduled tasks that a user creates. Non scheduled tasks require complete option configuration for each time used.

Not sure that my experience supports that the save as default only applies to scheduled tasks, as I hardly use scheduled tasks on my laptops because of them being moved around, but I have definitely used the save as default on these systems and the information has been retained / used for new tasks I have created.
I have tended to stick to just setting up a specific Options page tab as I want it, then using Save as default for that one page, clicking on OK then going back in and doing the same for another page - a bit long winded but seems to have worked for me.

I'll have to try that method Steve, I think your on to something there. I just have never had any luck trying to save anything unscheduled, possibly due to thinking I needed to save the whole task definition.
