@Daniel.0123,
Thank you for reporting back. I am glad to hear that you have resolved your problem. I am though mystified that such a task should be necessary ... ?
I confess that I never use scheduled backups; I always manually initiate my full disk partition images. You do say that you can hear the LOCAL drive spin up when you manually initiate an image task. What is the LOCAL drive? Is it an internal HDD/SSD or an external HDD/SSD? I ask because my internal primary HD backup drive is always "On" as is my external USB HD secondary backup drive after I plug it in, so I never hear them "spin up."
Have you tested both the Source and External drives for possible faults using diagnostic software and run a CHKDSK on both drives?
I would expect other reports in these Forums IF the HBSP scheduling component was buggy.
What OS are you using? How often is your computer restarted? Is hibernation enabled? Have you run SFC and DISM scans of your OS drive?
There are many possible explanations for what you encountering. I am simply curious to know more about the issue. I always seek to learn.
Have a great day, and again, I am happy that you got it working, but I am eager to figure out WHY your "solution" is necessary ...
Regards,
Phil
