I use to backup my files on schedule from laptop to NAS through a batch job + windows task manager

It stopped working with version 14.2 and delivers the following error:
--------------
Cannot find the following folders:
\\ASUS\...
___________________________________________
Cannot read file attributes of "\\ASUS\...".
ERROR_BAD_NETPATH: Le chemin réseau n’a pas été trouvé. [GetFileAttributes]
----------------

But, according to windows task manager, the task was performed correctly (the software is launched)

Moreover, the same backup works well if I start it manually (that is, the folders are found and the files backuped properly)

Your suggestions are welcome!

When you created the Task, did you select "Run whether the user is logged on or not"

Thanks

I did. The problem has changed to 'Error code 0x520' and the task failed to execute. I did not enter the password since it is a local network

I would try disabling that option and trying again
