BETA: PowerArchiver 2023 - 22.10.02

Hey there… Can we get this thing working again please? I do backups manually every day now.

DoubleClick on pbs file starts backup properly. Still no chance at all to get it run in scheduler. Can we do this b telephone or remote whatsoever.

I want my scheduled backup to work again please…!!

@spwolf:

I did not catch those newer responses to the thread, this is what the command line is:
“C:\Program Files\PowerArchiver\PABACKUP.EXE” /silent “C:\Users\user\Documents\Backups\Scripts\test. pbs”

If that works, then it works in batch file if you properly enter it.

did you try above?

[steiale]

I did… This does work. Starts PAbackup and starts to backup…

When I use the exact same in Scheduler pa starts but doesn’t backup… :-(

well what happens when PA starts but does not backup?

did you try scheduling .bat file which works? Maybe that could be workaround… It still seems like something with permissions, because only difference between your running it like that and scheduler running it with same command, is the user that starts the process.

I use it with the same useraccout, domain administrator. I am telling in scheduler to run even if not logged on. Givin my user and pw of the domain admin.

Batch file doesn’t work either. Quits with an dll error.

[steiale]

P.S. It starts the task doing nothing just using 4.4 mb ram.

what dll error do you get? I need to check if tasks could be exported so you can send us task and we can see how it is scheduled.

[steiale]

Dll error see post 59…

Tell me what I can do and I will do…

[steiale]

Seems that it can be exportet… :)

Is an xml file which i gave the txt ending…
attachment_p_21476_0_nowijan-backup.txt

[steiale]

any news?? :)

[spwolf]

@steiale:

any news?? :)

i will be testing today and let you know what happens @ our computers with that script…

[steiale]

Great!! Thank you very much…!!

[spwolf]

Can you check option “Run only when user is logged on” and let me know what happens then?

[steiale]

Ok we are getting close to it…

When I run it with user logged on option it fails with the following error: Task Scheduler failed to start “\nowijan.pbs” task for user “ritfs\Administrator”. Additional Data: Error Value: 2147943645.

Somehow the local admin machine account does not work.
But when I change the account info to domain admin account and the option user logged on the backup starts as normally.
Option run logged on or not with domain account does start the pabackup but the does nothing further. Behaves like dead.

what account do you use to work on that computer?

[steiale]

Domain admin

[spwolf]

@steiale:

Domain admin

and what about other software that runs there - they use same domain admin account or local account?

[steiale]

Yes they do… I do everthing on this machine in domain admin account.

[spwolf]

ok, lets try this - schedule new task manually through task scheduler and just pick pbs file that you want to schedule (so not pabackup.exe but .pbs). What happens then?

[steiale]

Tried already… but tried it again…

EXACTLY the same behavior. User logged on runs great.
User not logged on dead task…
