2009 data backup fails

Has anyone got 2009 to do a backup? I have yet to get it to run a scheduled backup. It fails with this error:

---------------------------------------------------
My Data Backup1 Task is waiting for user interaction.

Description: My Data Backup
Problem Info: Failed to backup file or folder ''.
Problem Details: Specified file does not exist.
---------------------------------------------------

I have contacted support and the best they could come up with was boot from a recovery cd and do a backup because the file is in use! What? What file? Does anyone see a file listed in that error message? The stupid message evens says the file does not exist! Well, then why is it trying to backup it up?

For reference, I am doing a data backup of the My Documents folder and two other folders with important files in them, scheduled to run at 1am.

 

First I would run cchkdsk to make sure there are no file probs on the disk, then this might help and is worth trying since it should only take a handful of ninutes:



delete the task, reboot, recreate task and try it.

If that doens't help, I'd try uninstalling ATI and reinstalling (best if seciruty software is off while installing). the recreating the task.
