The backup is set to mon. - fri. at 1am and a local directory that exists. However, the backup files never get created. The backup is supposed to run under the windows task scheduler and can be viewed within it as seen below. It will be listed using the name of your company file and an epoch timestamp when the backup task was created.

Upon review of the task, it was noticed that the "Configure for:" parameter was set to the wrong operating system.
resolution
work-around
