[SOLVED] the data area passed to a system call is too small

Re: the data area passed to a system call is too small

What is the destination folder of the Backup job (ex) where you going to put the backup? The picture is very small, but it looks like you are trying to save the backup to Outlook 2003? You need a drive that is large enough to be able to accept the whole size of your backup, like a USB HDD.

Hi spunk.funk

Yes I am trying to backup a 2003 outlook profile to a network drive which has huge space more than the size of the outlook profile 100 times.

Can you manually run the Backup? Try that first, if the backup is successful then use the task scheduler.

Re: the data area passed to a system call is too small

If you can't manually backup to the network directly from the software not using the Task Scheduler, then there is a problem with the software. Either the syntax is wrong (destination is typed incorrectly or the path is too long) Try putting the backup in the Root of the Network Drive or there are limitations that the software can't backup to a network drive or something. You should contact the software support.

Sorry for the confusion.
What I meant I tried backup manually and it was successful [/B]then when I used the task scheduler, there was no joy

Then the syntax in your Run Command might be wrong. I notice you have the application followed by fb_RUN_ DAIlY try deleting that part.

There is no application I have checked that and compared it with other PCs all of them have same one.

Thanks

Hi

Try:
1. Create another user with administrator privileges and a password. Then use that user to run the scheduled task.

2. Backup your outlook to the local drive instead of the network drive.

Let us know if the backup goes through or not, with the 2 procedures above.

Hi

I created another user with admin privilege and I did to run backup from folder to another folder (not on outlook not on a network drive), same problem happened with scheduler,,,,be aware that I was able to run backup manually

Thanks

Re: the data area passed to a system call is too small

Have you tried to schedule something else apart from syncbackuppro?
Does the backup user have a password?
How many scheduled tasks do you have under Task Scheduler?

Thanks AlbertMC2

When I have checked that I have seen 4 google updates when I deleted them I was able to schedule task for SyncBack Pro
