Scheduled Task Not Starting

Thread needs solution

I've got two scheduled tasks.  One is an normal image of my C: drive going to an external USB at 2:00am.  The other is an online backup of some specific folders later on around 4:30am.  The online backup is running fine, but the image at 2:00am never seems to start.  No logs of any kind for the 2:00am task.  See the images I attached.

Any ideas?  I haven't tried deleting the 2:00am task yet.  I wanted to see if there were any ideas first.  If I manually start this scheduled task, does that run take the place of it running scheduled later that night?  I haven't manually run it lately, but have manually run it several times last week.

Thanks for your input.

Running the task manually will not affect its sheduling. Try changing the schedule to run almost immediately so that you can monitor what happens.

Another work around would be to run the backup script using the Windows Scheduled task option.

Hello all,

Let me assist you with this situation.

bin and GroverH, thank you for the good suggestions.

daniel, the exact issue not clear from the screenshots. Could you please start this backup manually and then check the log for the error? The log should be available if you expand the task displayed on screenshot. Also, could you please clarify, which exact task are you trying to run?

If this task simply does not run, please check the solution in this article.

We are looking forward to hearing back from you at your earliest convenience.

Thank you.
