I had to wake a sleeping computer so I could shut it down - power it off - in order to do some work on the case.  4 backups had missed their scheduled runs during the sleep.  One had started before I powered down and I expected to have to manually restart it.  I expected the other 3 tasks to run when I powered back up, but they did not.  Reflect showed error 0x103 for all 4 tasks even though only 1 had started.  Is that expected behavior?

I can't find a recent description of 0x103 recent enough to cover the Macrium Reflect scheduler, but the description I found was

0x103    The Windows task scheduler has terminated. This status can occur if your PC is manually rebooted or shut down before the backup has finished. It can also occur if the option to shutdown the PC at the end of a backup has been selected.

That seems appropriate for the backup task that was running but it seems a stretch for tasks that have not started.  Is MR working as it should, or is this a bug?  In either case, I think this situation provides a good reason for a Retry feature.

Hi Patrick,

For the Macrium Task Scheduler, error code 0x103 means that the scheduler was shut down or restarted while the scheduled task was running. This sounds like the correct error code for the one backup that had started, but not for the three others.
