automated backups

[needscoop]

Win2003 - setup automated MySQL backups via the Administrator.exe (v1.2.12) gui - this created scheduled tasks.
The scheduled tasks appear to run, but there's a cryptic
error message in Event Viewer...

"The description for Event ID ( 1 ) in Source ( MySQL Administrator ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: Connection cannot be found.."

Anyone else encountered this?
I can run the backups manually through the administraot tool, but the scheduled task doesn't produce a backup .sql file.

Automated" MySQL backups - had trouble getting this to produce the backup .sql file, but finally got it to work - key is that when setting up the backup job within the MySQL Administrator gui to set the Account information window's username to root (username default was a different username, so changing it to root solved it).
