Well I have tried everything to no avail.  We are running a client/server environment with the database on the server and the desktop running the actual QB Premier application.  I have tried to schedule a backup to an external drive, to the same drive where the database is housed and to my C drive.  In every case, all I get is a small tmp file but no backup file.  We run Windows 7 Pro on the desktop and Windows Server 2016 on the server.  I can run a manual backup with no problem and save the backup file anywhere I want.  The problem is only with running scheduled backups.  I have saved my Window PW as requested and verified that it is correct.

Any thought or suggestions form anyone out there would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks
