SyncBack Planning Problem under Vista

[Theodore]

Hello,
I use SyncBack for several weeks on my PC (XP and Vista). On a PC the software continues to remain in English despite several relocations! but it does not matter. For Your information I use the Free version V3.2.14. This software works perfectly on my PC automatically by XP, for against the PC that is Vista, or sync backups do not work automatically. I can program the plans but they do not start. I think that is right for Administrator Task Scheduler starts If anyone knows the procedure to make SyncBack works properly in Vista. I would be delighted Thank you for your cooperation and good Luck

Hello, With regard to the planning of tasks on Vista, when you create your scheduled task since SyncBack (Expert Mode -> Other Tab -> planning task), do not forget to click Set Password and enter the password for the user account that runs the software. Did you enter the password for your user account for your scheduled task?

Hello,

Thank you for your answers, as regards the language problem, I installed the English version, moreover it is the same file I used on my 4 PCs and only one continues to appear in English. Against by the local directory is in the installation directory SyncBack, which contains a rep and a sub FR LC_MESSAGES rep. Regarding SyncBack on Vista, I did not put on the CDM user. So I created another user with a CDM, after I run SyncBack established planning, making the CDM that has not worked better at the moment.after I created a password on the user who did not, and actually starts well SyncBack schedules programmed by entering the CDM of the user. Everything is OK for this problem of automatic synchronization. The language problem is on another PC, it is set in French, the same directories have been installed, the installation was done with the same file ..... and yet it to remain in English thank you again
Good day and best wishes to all.

On Windows Vista go to the Control Panel, switch to Classic View (option on the left of the window), double-click Administrative Tools, then double-click Task Scheduler. On the left of the Task Scheduler window you must expand then tree to Task Scheduler (Local) -> Task Scheduler Library -> 2BrightSparks -> SyncBack (if SyncBackSE, or SyncBackPro if SyncBackPro). Under the SyncBack/Pro node are entries for users. Click on the one that has your login username. Then click on the scheduled item and go to the History tab. It will show when the schedule was run and any error codes or error messages related to it.


Make sure you set your password for the task. You must use your Windows login password.

• Your login password is blank/empty and you have not allowed SyncBackSE/Pro to configure Windows to allow blank passwords.
  
• You are using the wrong username and/or password. You must use your Windows login password.
  
• The scheduled task may not be set-up correctly to wake the computer if it is hibernating or in standby mode.
  
• The scheduler may be stopped or not installed. See your Windows documentation for details on how to start or install it. For Windows XP you can start the task scheduler by: Start -> Control Panel -> Scheduled Tasks then selecting Advanced -> Start Using Task Scheduler from the main menu.
  
• The scheduler may be paused. For Windows XP you can resume the task scheduler by: Start -> Control Panel -> Scheduled Tasks then selecting Advanced -> Continue Task Scheduler from the main menu.
  
• Profiles are user specific, they are not visible to every user on the computer. This means when you create a profile under a Windows username, and logout and login as a different Windows user, then you will not see the profile created as the other user. When scheduling a profile make sure your scheduled task is being run as the user who created the profile (this is the default when new schedules are created).
  
• If you are a member of a domain check that the correct username is being used for the scheduled task. By default your local (machine) username may be used, but it may be that you must use your domain username (domain\username).

User Rights
You should also make sure the user account has the necessary Windows user rights. To do this, run the Local Security Policy control panel applet (in the Administrative Tools section of the control panel). If you are using the home version of Windows then you may not have access to the Local Security Policy control panel applet (Microsoft have removed the feature from home versions of Windows).

Make sure that the user account has the following user rights:

• Act as part of the operating system
• Log on as a batch job
• Log on as a service

• Make sure the user account is not listed in the following user rights:
• Deny logon as a batch job
• Deny logon as a service

Alternatives
Note that you are not forced to use the Windows Task Scheduler. You can use 3rd party schedulers instead of the Windows Task Scheduler, the only drawbacks being that SyncBack/SE/Pro will not know the task is scheduled (it will still run as that is the job of the scheduler), and the schedule options (to create and deleted a schedule) will still use the Windows Task Scheduler.
