Greetings, and thanks for looking into this.
I am using Cobian backup (ver 10.1.1.816). Cobian has a nice feature where you can execute a program before backup begins. There are two ways to execute a program. The first is just execute it. Cobian continues after the program starts. The other is "execute and wait." In this case, Cobian is supposed to wait until the executed program terminates before it continues.
I have used Microsoft Task Scheduler to create a task called "autocleaner" which executes ccleaner with the /AUTO option and elevated privileges in order to get around being nagged by UAE. This works perfectly. I have added this task to Cobian to be run before backup begins using "execute and wait."
Here's the problem. Cobian does not wait for ccleaner to terminate before it presses on with its backup. To compound the problem, Cobian creates a shadow copy of the drive first thing, ensuring that all the trash I wish to delete with ccleaner still goes into my backup.
I have successfully used "execute and wait" for other programs without a problem.
I would very much appreciate hearing from anyone who has solved this problem!
thanks, John
