Questions bout Windows backup...
I am trying to use Windows Backup, to backup an important folder every week. I set the schedule I want it to be, and for some reason it's not working. Weeks have passed by and the Windows BACKUP program will NOT run and start backing up, am I doing something wrong?
Do I have to keep the backup programming running? I thought windows would automatically open it and start doing it, or is this not right? I set the backup as an Incremental backup, so when the folder gets changed in some way it will backup, but for some reason I don't think the backup program is noticing that?...

I think the Windows Backup uses Task Scheduler service to run it self. So do you have that service up and running?
