===== Backup script using GIT works fine except when run from scheduled tasks =====
Overall task: Trying to merge information from one repository into another, then periodically backup the latest combined information to another repository.  This running on Plesk Obsidian with Windows server.

Problem: The script works great when run from a Remote Desktop login as administrator. But the script hangs when run from a Plesk scheduled task, it hangs at the first GIT pull statement. It then hangs at some other points to.  

First problem: The batch file didnt run at all as a scheduled task. Putting the batch in Administrator/Documents seemed to solve this issue

  * Is it the chroot issue mentioned here? https://docs.plesk.com/en-US/obsidian/administrator-guide/website-management/scheduling-tasks.65207/
  * Or maybe this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41030190/command-to-run-a-bat-file
  * Some progress creating c:\users\administrators\documents\dailyrun.bat - plesk can execute this

<code>

rem This will work from a plesk fired batchfile. But it requires a dummy repo to be created, and the clone command to run from there
git init
git config --global core.sshCommand "ssh -i c:\\users\\administrator\\.ssh\\id_rsa -F /dev/null"

git clone https://github.com/garnetr/thegarnetnet
