Is there any way to schedule backups without setting a password on the user

account? There is only one account on the machine.

    Hi,

     

    Yes. Running Scheduled Tasks without a password:

     

    For Pro: Start/Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Local Security

    Policy/Local Policies/Security options. In the right hand pane (third down).

     

    Accounts: Limit local account use of blank passwords to console logon only.

    This is enabled by default, disable it.
