Currently, the only line on the scheduled copy window is red and there are no log files.

(few minutes later)
I have just set a scheduled backup to run two minutes hence, which it did successfully. But I have done this before - every time I watch a backup it works, however when unattended it never seems to happen. I got to wondering whether it's because the machine might be asleep, so I set another one to go in a couple of minutes and put the machine to sleep. OK, it didn't wake up the machine but as soon as I woke the machine up manually SD then ran it's scheduled backup successfully. All I know is whenever I try and do the same in the middle of the night it fails every time - and as I have said before on 3 different machines in 3 different physical locations.
I will persevere.
