RGP Windows Task Scheduler to send offsite

Before you can create a Windows Task in the Task Scheduler, you have to have a password for the Windows user account creating the task. Windows will ask for your Admin Password after you have created your task. Therefore, before beginning the process, please make sure you have created a Windows password for your user account. This is the Windows password you enter to log on to your computer. 

If you change the Windows user account password you have to change your password in the Task Scheduler, or your RGP backup Task will not run. All you have to do is reopen your established RGP Offsite Backup Task and then click OK to close the task and Windows will prompt you for your new password:
