I've got Backup 2.0 installed under 10.3.3 and it is set to backup a few folders daily (about 50 MB worth of stuff) to my .mac account (iDisk folder). For the longest time, it was set to do the back up at 8:00 PM. I checked the other day, and it hadn't done an automatic backup in more than a week. The last back up it did was one I had done manually. So, I changed the time to 11:00 PM. I had no other applications running at that time, and waited until a few minutes after 11:00 PM. Nothing happens. I get this zany idea that maybe I should log out and log back in. As soon as I do, Backup starts an automatic backup.

So, I'm double checking this issue again tonight (hadn't changed any settings since the night before), 11:00 rolls around, and nothing happens! I log out and log back in, and still nothing happens. Any one know why I can't get Backup to do an automatic backup?

Thanks.

i'm not sure how to help, but I definitely get the same problem - no auto-backups, but manual ones work just fine...

Do you have the iDisk mirrored on the desktop as well? It might be waiting for that to sync.
