ATIH 2010 - post command not executed by a scheduled task

Thread needs solution

I'm using Acronis True Image Home 2010 build 7046 and trying to use the post command facility (a .cmd script file) to copy the .tib backup files from my local disk drive to a networked disk drive. All works fine when the task is an unscheduled task and I manually initiate the task; the data backup is performed OK and the script is executed OK.

But as soon as I schedule the task, the backup works OK but the script is not invoked.

Has anyone experienced this problem and solved it already? I'd be grateful for your solution.

'Fraid I didn't get the connection between the post you suggested and my problem. Thanks anyway, bin.

If the script is using a mapped drive letter, try the UNC path. I don't think TI has access to mapped drive letters when running scheduled tasks.

Bullseye, MudCrab, you were spot on there. Changing the drive letter to a UNC path (in my case from Z: to \\diskstation\backup ) in the script resolved my problem. Many thanks for your help.
