Scheduled tasks stopped working
-
Doubleclicking did never work.
Only thing worked is starting the pbs file from within the PA app. Doing my backups now like this.
Open PA, klick on pbs and then click on run. Works perfectly…!!thats very different ;-).
do you have different versions of PA installed?
-
its getting clearer now - when you say it works from inside PA, you mean via backup list, right?
-
As I said some posts above I did a complete uninstall and reinstall. So only one version installed.
Yes via backup list…
-
well PBS files dont seem to be properly registered with windows explorer. There are several possible reasons for this.
Did you try cmd line i suggested before? Did that work?
“C:\Program Files\PowerArchiver\PABACKUP.EXE” /silent “C:\Users\user\Documents\Backups\Scripts\test. pbs”
just replace it to proper path to your files.
-
(when you click on run on backup script in backup window, that is what PA does, it runs shell execute command, which is basically same thing as command line prompt).
-
Using in cmd seems to work now…

it has to work, reason it didnt work was because of long paths and you probably did not use “”… but i figured that out before, problem was that I thought that you wrote how you tried it from explorer and it works :-)
anyway, now schedule an task using the same thing… it HAS to work… I will not accept no for an answer ;-)
-
Ok… This is going to be hard for you…
I swear when I use exactly the same string as working on my cmd it does not work in scheduler…!!
-
Another strange thing…
When is go to browse for PA in the scheduler it says that the path to the pbs file is not valid… But I changed the pbs files already to c:\PAscripts… How short can that be…

can you browse to it? not write it in but browse to it…
-
ok… Back after one week of illness…
Still doesn’t work. Sure I can browse to it…
Any new idea?
-
A small step further…
I made the file association between pbs files and PA again and now at least a double click on pbs file starts PA correctly and files are backuped.But start from scheduler still doesn’t work. PA gets started and does nothing.

check your task, make sure that backup it is starting is the right backup (that it points to proper file).
-
it should be something like this:
“C:\Program Files\PowerArchiver\PABACKUP.EXE” /silent “C:\Users\user\Documents\Backups\Scripts\test. pbs”
-
It does… :-(
-
try manually that in command prompt now
-
That worked as we checked already…
-
can we do this by chat or something? Would be faster. R U in skype or something?
-
OK next step I tried.
Wrote a batch. Thought if I can’t schedule the pbs maybe I can schedule a batch that starts the pbs.
–-------
@echo off
start “Sedi Backup” /MIN “C:\Program Files\PowerArchiver\PABackup.exe” “/silent C:\PAscripts\sedi.pbs”
:endEnds up in an oleaut32.dll access violation. Does that help?

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.
