Scheduled Backup Could Not Start

[lourensz777]

Hey All,

I am trying to get WindowsNT backup going on a Windows 2003 Server whilst searching for a decent backup program that will do the job for us.

The situation is this...
I have created the scheduled backup as follows;
Incremental backup that happens every 2 hours from 8am-6pm every weekday.

The server is setup on a domain. I set the scheduled task to use the administrator account on the domain.

The backup runs through the day like it should. When I check it the next day I get the error message. Could Not Start

Here is the info from the log file.
<begin log file>
"TATS-MYOB-INCREMENTAL.job" (ntbackup.exe) 2/07/2009 8:00:00 AM ** ERROR **

The attempt to log on to the account associated with the task failed, therefore, the task did not run.

The specific error is: 0x80070569: Logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer.

Verify that the task's Run-as name and password are valid and try again.
<end log file>

However when I re-insert the user account details the backup runs again all through the day. The next day it's no good again. Same error message.

If anyone could help I would be extremely happy.

Thanks,
Josh.

Hi Josh,

I answered 'cause I think you're on the wrong forum. Otherwise, and forgive me for not knowing much about server stuff, take a look at the last post on this page (http://www.winserverhelp.com/ftopic66766.html), similar to Brian French's final reply (http://www.winserverkb.com/Uwe/Forum.aspx/windows-server-sbs/32856/Backup-User-cannot-log-in-backups-fail-immediately). I'm guessing you've got the more obvious potentials covered, allowed logons, passwds ...

G'day Steve,

Thanks for the reply.. I will have a look when I get some time. See what I can find.

Yeah thought that after I created the topic. I might try somewhere else.

Thanks for your advice though.
Cheers,
Josh.
