No differentials created when running script from vista task scheduler

Thread needs solution

I am using vista task scheduler to run my backup script so that my PC wakes before backing up. It seems that with this method, only full backups are being created despite me enabling differentials in the script settings. If I manually run the script inside the TIH 2010 UI, differentials are created fine. Is there something different between interactive vs command line script execution that causes this problem?

I seem to recall that you need to use Windows Scheduler to start TI and then if needs be have any extra scripts running from within TI.

I seem to remember there was a a gotcha with the WS and TI 2010, but can't recall what it was.

Have you looked at the Chain2Gen script in Grovers' list of many things, this might have the answer for you.
