After finally managing to setup a PC that will be used as a NAS and media server, with 2 2TB HDD's in raid and a 8TB that will be used for redundancy, i installed FFS, configured what i needed it to do, which includes a windows task scheduler entry that will allow for weekely backups from the 2x2TB drives to the 8TB drive.
This is set to run once a week.

The problem is that when testing, the task doesn't run due to Windows asking "which program should run this file?".

What am i doing wrong?

Found the problem and it's Windows related:

In Task Scheduler:
- Create the Task as instructed in the video.
- On the General Tab
- the Author line (Domain/Username) must match > Security Options > "When running the task, use
the following user account:"

If only the username is present, you need to click on "Change User or Group", and then search for the Author.

In my case:

****THIS DOESN'T WORK:
Author: THEPIRATESHIP/ThePirateShip
Security Options User: ThePirateShip


****THIS DOES WORK:

Security Options User: THEPIRATESHIP/ThePirateShip


Thanks Windows :)
