I can connect to the local SQL 2005 EXPRESS server successfully, run the backup successfully and it saves to C:\Windows\TEMP but when trying to update settings and save the job I get this error.

What Windows account do you use to schedule the job? (It's specified in Advanced settings)

So your "Run scheduled job as" field is not empty? If so could you try to empty this field and save the job with scheduling again.

Hm... it seems this problem is specific to your computer. The only thing I can suggest you now is to wait until we release the next version with option of using a special Windows service instead of Windows Task Scheduler. I hope we'll release it within a month.

Issue resolved!
Not sure how these permissions were changed/removed but here is the cause and resolution...
Cause:
The Administrators group lack permission on the C:\WINDOWS\Tasks folder.
Resolution:
Start > Run > CMD > C:/windows - CACLS TASKS /E /G builtin\administrators:F
The steps above grant Administrators group full control permission to the C:\WINDOWS\Tasks folder.
