[RESOLVED] Running Ntbackup from Batch file ?

[chaucer]

I have a batch file running each night
using the "at" command.

The batch contains three lines:
ntbackup backup c:\ /v /b
ntbackup backup y:\ /v
ntbackup eject

It backup c: then replaces it with
y:

could someone help me rewrite my batch file
so it backups both drives, each night.

Cheers,

More than likely if you include the second drive on the same line the problem will go away.

ntbackup backup c:\ y:\ /v /b

I don't know for a fact so if anyone has anything more to add please feel free.

Thanks for the suggestion but I have tryed that it still does not backup both drives.

Help.....!!!

Sounds to me like you just need to add the append switch to the second ntbackup command

/a

isn't /a append
so doesn't there have to be a backup of
c: and y: on the tape already?

Cheers for you help

If you go to the 'Command Prompt' and type 'ntbackup /?' it will give you a list of available options.

/a says it will apend to a backup set already on the tape and not overwrite it.

Try it ... What have you got to loose as you already don't have a backup of C:.

Good luck
