It appears to be impossible to run Backup Advanced at the same time as VMProtect due to scheduler task service conflicts.

All backup processes running on a dedicated 2008R2 backup server with a raid array and an external LT05 tape drive. Intent is to backup a separate domain/file/print server using vmprotect to disk, and then move the disk backup to tape for off-site storage.

I set up a task using VMProtect 7.1 to back up file server (different hardware, same subnet, VMware 5) to disk, running from 1A to 2A
I set up a task using ABR11 (trial version) to backup the TID file to tape running at 7A

I can get one to run by closing the other, but I do not succeed getting both to run automatically. Whichever one does not run just hangs waiting.....

Anyone get this to work, or are these two products incompatible? I submitted a support request, but thought I would ask if users have solved this problem some way that has not occurred to me.

Newest release of VMProtect (26 Mar) includes a new scheduler component that solves this problem. So... that is how you fix it! Run the latest software.
