Windows Server Backup - Schedule task on Event ID

[danrhodes]

Hey, such a simple task but i literally cannot get it to work!

Im trying to create a scheduled task that runs on an event, the event being an event ID 4 from windwows Server Backup, can anyone take a look at my code below to see what im doing wrong??!?? The first section is the code from the exported task XML but i understand it has to be escaped so below that is my attempt at making it work with Advanced Installer. If anybody can help it would be greatly appriciated.

XML From Task
<QueryList>
<Query Id="0" Path="Microsoft-Windows-Backup">
<Select Path="Microsoft-Windows-Backup">*[System[Provider[@Name='Microsoft-Windows-Backup'] and EventID=4]]</Select>
</Query>
</QueryList>

Escaped XML not working
<QueryList>
<Query Id="0" Path="Microsoft-Windows-Backup">
<Select Path="Microsoft-Windows-Backup">*[\[]System[\[]Provider[\[]@Name='Microsoft-Windows-Backup'[\]][\]][\]] and EventID="4"[\]][\]]</Select>
</Query>
</QueryList>

Hi and welcome to our forums.

In the escaped XML snippet that you attached, I see that you added two extra square brackets as marked below. Can you remove them and see if it works?
<QueryList>
<Query Id="0" Path="Microsoft-Windows-Backup">
<Select Path="Microsoft-Windows-Backup">*[\[]System[\[]Provider[\[]@Name='Microsoft-Windows-Backup'[\]][\]][\]] and EventID="4"[\]][\]]</Select>
</Query>
</QueryList>

Also, please keep in mind that in order to create a scheduled task in Advanced Installer, you can use the support from the "Scheduled Task page.

Let me know if you have other questions.

Best regards,
