I have my automatic backup set and it will run on schedule but only the first time.
After that successful run, it still say automatic backup is on, but the time of the next backup is "unknown".
So I go back to change backup settings to set it up again and it remembers what I had, will run again with no errors the next time ... but then always reverts back to "unknown" again.
This started happening about 2 months ago and I've been running MS Security Essentials and no third party security addons. I don't recall changing any system level options or programs in a long time. (but I guess I may have, since why else would it start failing, just for me)
I'd rather not abandon the "Backup and Restore Center" to get into the chaos and weird behavior of "free" or trial backup solutions and it's not worth paying for some other system since the built-in MS utility has been working perfectly
Any clues? Thanks!
