Hello -- If a scheduled back  is canceled via that  pop-up that its about to start, will a log file get created? 

No, because in that case the job itself never started. That’s a quick test to run.

thx for the info

Having a Scheduler log (in addition to the backup / restore logs) would be a good idea, though.  Something that mentions backups backups canceled via the popup, things that cause 0x103 errors (which can happen prior to the backup task starting), etc. would be very useful.

I'll put that request in the Wish List if the feature does not already exist.

Macrium Task Scheduler does have a log file, but I don’t know of a way to view it from within Reflect.

Is this what you're looking for:




L.W. (Dan) Danz, Overland Park KS
Reflect v8.1.7638+ on Windows 11 Home 22H2 22621.2361+  

Sorry for my previous incomplete posting.  I believe I was trying to make 2 point.

1. If the scheduled task is a Powsershell script (and probably other scripts, too) not entry appears in that history log.
2. If a scheduled task has been queued but not yet run at time of reboot the Status field in the Scheduler log is set to 0x103 but there is no other indication that the task was not run.  And after the next run of the task - successful or otherwise - all indications of the missed execution are lost.

I believe that any task given the 0x103 status should be requeued rather than flagged as an error, but there should be a permanent entry in a log in either case.
