Default BACKUP

Help. I have scheduled a backup by using the task
manager. The backup program opens at the scheduled backup
time...but the backup won't start. It just sits there
waiting for me to push the "start" button. If I push the
start button it makes the backup just as it should. I
would like the backup to be automatic and start on it's
own. How can I make this happen??


Email me at the above address or

Thanks

I don't trust the back up program included with W98 because it has too many
problems and a back up program cannot have any.

The W98 Backup program will not work with task scheduler without help. Go
to: http://www.mvps.org/serenitymacros/win98.html and see the article:
Automate Backups....
