Batch Never Quits when run as Win7 Sched Task

Get help for specific problems

Anonymous

I have a backup definition that runs fine from the GUI, but when I save it as
a batch job (silent mode with logging) and run it from the Win7 Task
Scheduler, the job never ends. I can watch the memory foot print dropping down
in the Task Manager as the job progresses, but once the memory footprint gets
down to circa 900K the whole process just comes to a standstill. And the lower
the memory footprint gets, the slower the decline rate of the memory
footprint. The job just sits there in memory and I have to manually terminate
it.

Are you using the most recent version of FFS and did you set error handling to
something != popup? It's also helpful to first test the batch job manually
before scheduling in Win7.

I am having the same problem on Win 2008 R2 64bit server with the FFS batch
backups. The FFS tasks just never quit, and they definitely do nothing after
execution (no processor time nor disk activities). Error handling is set to
"quit".

I remember the same thing worked fine on our old Win 2003 Server (R2 64bit as
well).

The main culprit is a popup dialog of some kind preventing progress. With the
newest version of FFS, basically the only chances to get one is if error
handling is set to "popup" or the "run minimized" checkbox is not set.
