I have set Automatic Backups for weekly, Every Sunday at 7:00 pm to an
external hard drive. I am running Vista Home Premium. On Saturday I got a message that says "Backup Failed" because it cannot find the Backup Drive. That's because the external hard drive was not connected at that time. But, why does it try to do backups when it is not Sunday at 7:00 pm? Thanks, CB |

If it was a Sun, check the backup schedule settings, find out if it has been changed inexplicably since the last backup. |
