I'm running Windows 2000 server. I use MS Backup to backup
my data on 4mm DDS tapes. I used the backup wizard to setup a
scheduled backup and they don't start. No error messages it just
doesn't start. The DDS drive and tapes are good and I can do a manual
backup but not a scheduled one. Any ideas??

What account did you specify that the backup should run under, when
scheduling the task?
 
The "Task Scheduler" Service must be started.

- Control Panel...
- Administrative Tools...
- Services...
- Task Scheduler

Also check the Event Log (System Log) for service failures.

If you are scheduling a tape backup, use Removable Storage
to make sure that your tape is available in the Backup
media pool.

- Control Panel...
- Administrative Tools...
- Computer Management...
- Removable Storage
