Bug Report - Scheduled backups stop running after cloning drive

Thread needs solution

If you create several backup schemes, I have one that backs up my email every 4 hours and another that backs up all my changed data every evening.

Things run fine for days and days

Clone your main drive

After the cloning, all the scheduled backups stop running until you manually go in and run them one time, then the schedules take over and continue running until you clone your drive again.

This is a critical flaw because you are thinking that your data is safe and backed up when in fact no backup is ever made.

Greetings,
This is likely related to permissions. If no credentials are supplied when the task is scheduled, then cloned. The task itself cannot run until it has been authenticated. Running the task manually would do this. I'm guessing here, but suspect the the outcome would be different if credentials were provided during task creation prior to a clone.
