Bug #28821 Scheduled backups creates .logs in [c:\]

Description:
Hi,

I have turned off the 'Create log' files setting associated with schedule backup.  However I keep seeing .log dropping in my root drive.

Expected behaviour: Log to event view of NT6

How to repeat:
1. Turn of log file associated with schedule backups setting
2. Create new schedule backup
3. Fire scheduled event

Suggested fix:
C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Tools for 5.0\MySQLAdministrator.exe

"-UDC:\Users\Jared\AppData\Roaming\MySQL\" "-clocalhost" "-bplive" "-btD:\asus.workspace\" "-bxlive"

1. Fix Administrator
2. Revamp Schedule task to use mysqldump.exe (my preferred fix)

Thank you for the bug report. Could you please explain me how you
 did "Turn of log file associated with schedule backups setting"
Thanks in advance.

Option for turning off logs

Just to make sure, I set the datetime stamp back to original state, and Administrator still dumping logs on my C:\

Thank you for the feedback. I am not able to repeat the behavior reported,
instead on Windows Vista Ultimate X64 I am getting the opposite bug: I can't
create log files when checking that option and on any directory I had configured,
I thought the problem was Vista security because only as Administrator I can
create files in the root C:\ directory. Do you have any clue regarding
security?. Thanks.

Hi Mig,

Start > Run > msconfig > Tools > Disable UAC

That should straighten up tour Vista machine.

And restart the PC afterwards.

Thank you for the report.

Verified as described.

Changed to S2.  Not Win Logo freindly application.

Fixed in repository administrator, revision 403

I faced the same problem with MySQL Administrator version 1.2.17.
Here I behaved quite odd.
When I initially enabled it, it just didn't create the log.
Later I changed the directory from default C:\ to D:\SOMEFOLDER\ ;
and it started logging the events.
I also noted that it didn't log, if scheduler service is off on windows and scheduled backup don't occur.
