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:
Author: THEPIRATESHIP/ThePirateShip
Security Options User: THEPIRATESHIP/ThePirateShip
Thanks Windows :)
