Hoping that someone can offer some advice on this.

I have set up two "echo" sync pairs in Sync toy, one called: "We FR Backup",
and one called; Tu Th Sa Backup". I can run both pairs manually and they
both work as expected.

I then set up Task scheduler to run the tasks using the following command
lines (sort of - vista won't let you put the arguments in the command line;
a separate box is provided for the arguments):

"C:\Program Files\SyncToy 2.0\SyncToyCmd.exe" -R "Tu Th Sa Backup"
"C:\Program Files\SyncToy 2.0\SyncToyCmd.exe" -R "We Fr Backup"

The goal is to keep two snapshot backups one for Tuesday, Thursday and
Saturday, and the other one for Wednesday and Friday.

The above tasks worked flawlessly (see note below about the space after the
"-R") then all of a sudden stopped working. The log in the Task scheduler
shows the tasks as completed but in the original sync action does not
happen.

I found a lot of conflicting information on whether there should be a space
after "-R" or not, i.e -R "Tu Th Sa Backup" or -R"Tu Th Sa Backup". I'm not
sure how I had it when it was working; at this point neither option actually
runs. Is there supposed to be a space after the "-R"?

Any suggestions on why task scheduler doesn't actually run the Sync Toy
folder pairs?

I've just discovered that there is a log within sync toy itself. It's
showing the the syncs have not been executing because it can't find the
destination folder which is on a network drive, but when I run the syncs
manually from SyncToy they work fine. Doesn't make sense.

I'm thinking that this is somehow related to a network drive mapping
problem.
