Re: Can't Schedule Backup in MySQL admin tool

[Barry Galbraith]

Control Panel
User Accounts
Create new user

I made a user called mysql with a suitable password

When you build the scheduled task, assign to run as user = mysql with mysql's password.

BTW. It's probably not a good idea to login to Windows with the builtin Administrator account for everyday use. Create another user of the type you desire (administrator, user, whatever) and use that one.

Good luck.
Barry.
