Not working when launched from windows 7 task scheduler
Hello from Spain. I am using for first time this great tool. The os is Windows 7 Pro. I have a bat file that uses shadowspawn.exe to create a snapshot of my d: logical unit and mount it on letter k:. In the same command I have another bat that launches robocopy to copy some folders. Something like this:
step1.bat: shadowspawn D:\ K: step2.bat
step2.bat Robocopy /MIR "K:\Data" "\Server\Backup\data" Robocopy /MIR "K:\Data2" "\Server\Backup\data2" ...
If I launch step1.bat directly doing doubleclick it works perfectly. But if I put them into a scheduled task it not works. The scheduled task is running with highest privileges and into a Admin account (the same account that is running). Any ideas of what can be happening?
Thank you so much.
If you break out your bat file and run each line separately they work. Create them each as an action in the scheduled tasks.
i.e.
Action 1: Program: shadowspawn Paramaters: D:\ K: Robocopy /MIR "K:\Data" "\Server\Backup\data"
Action 2: Program: shadowspawn Paramaters: D:\ K: Robocopy /MIR "K:\Data2" "\Server\Backup\data2"
nearly ten years late, and I haven't tried this, but I'm going to guess that a faster solution might be to use shadowspawn to start a batch file using cmd /k. I imagine that cmd would stay open and run whatever until the batch file ends.
