Scheduled backup

[Scott]

I have mapped a network drive on a remote server and wish
to backup too this mapped drive using NTbackup and a
sceduled backup early in the morning (3.00 am).

When I run the backup manually it works fine. When I
leave the backup to run on the schedule it reports that
the backup failed to start because it could not find the
drive.

Any ideas?

Hi Scott,

I would try like this. Write a backup script that would map network drive
first using same username that is used to perform a backup...

So, it would go something like this:

****
net use x: \\backupserver\backupshare /user:domain\backupacc backupaccpass
ntbackup ...
net use x: /delete
****

I hope this helps you out,

Mike

Hello,

Use UNC paths instead ( \\server\share )
