Windows task scheduler incorrectly reports failed backups as succeeded

I use Windows task scheduler because it has capabilities that AOMEI's scheduler doesn't offer.  As the title says, Windows task scheduler incorrectly reports failed backups as being successful.  The only thing I can think of is that it is saying that Backupper correctly said the task failed in the log file, but not that the backup failed...

    Can you show me the Windows task scheduler report?

    This will take some work to locate and correlate the AOMEI logs with the task scheduler history.  This is an observation I have had for a long time but never reported it.  I might try forcing a failure when I get some time.  Can't your technical team come up with a test case to see if they see the same thing?  I would expect there to already be a test case as part of an acceptance test plan / procedure for qualifying the software.

    Well, actually it is not recommended to use Windows task scheduler because we didn't test it.

    Window's task scheduler is far better and more powerful than AOMEI's.  Backupper is the only program that I have and I'm aware of that implements its own scheduler.  I would recommend putting testing efforts in Window's task scheduler and deprecating (in Microsoft's vernacular) Backupper's scheduler in the next version, migrating existing users to Window's task scheduler.
