Guest Snoopy Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 Dear All, I have a problem with my NtBackup in my Win2k3 SP1. When I run a backup to disk from GUI interface the backup starts but it terminates very quickly, as soon as Windows Shadow Copies start. The backup job creates a .bkf file with a size of 10k, which is much lower than the date being backup. The log file shows a successfully backup job. The user that I’m using is a member of local administrator group. The same problem accurse when I schedule the job. Any ideas on this. Thank you

You can generate Item a) by causing the backup run to be scheduled. It is then visible under the properties of the scheduled task.

Guest Pegasus \(MVP\) Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 Re: NtBackup There is nothing wrong with your command. This leaves you with the following possibilities: - The .bks file contains an invalid folder name. - The .bks file has an invalid structure. It must be a Unicode file. - There are no files in c:\backup. - There is a problem with the permissions in c:\backup Try backing up a test folder that you create specifically for this exercise.
