What does "Parameter "backup_name" is not a valid backup job or group" mean?

This message is shown when a scheduled task cannot find the backup job or backup group that it should start.  This could happen because you have manually removed the backup job or backup group but the scheduler was still configured to run those backups.

To fix this problem you have to remove the scheduled tasks that are not valid anymore. Go to Start->Control Panel->Scheduled Tasks and delete the scheduled task(s) that is named "b4a_backup_name" ("backup_name" means the name of your backup that was deleted).

"To be honest, I always say <<I'll burn that backup folder someday this week>> and the week passes without having my files backed up.

Reviews

With Backup4all this issue can disappear, and the stress related to <<what if my hard drive crashes>> problem will disappear. I think that I'll leave the backup tasks for this program from now on. What about you?"
