ntbackup funny behaviour


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi all,

have anyone seen this before?

I use NTbackup to backup everything in C:, D: and system status to my

another disk which is E:.

I put the backup into a schdule task and it will trigger every mid

night at 12:00am.

It started successfully without any problem on the first day, however

it stop on the second day. The status shows running but the bkf file

didn't change. After I troubleshoot for days, I found that it will

work again if I menually delete the existing bkf file, it seems like

it cannot overwrite the existing bkf file.

 

herewith are more information which I can provided.

O/S: Windows 2000 with SP4

schedule tasks user: administrator

Backup size: around 250G

 

 

Regards,

Donald

Your job would generate three logs:

- An entry in the Event Viewer

- An entry in the logger of the Task Scheduler

- A ntbackup log file

 

As a first step I recommand that you examine all three

entries. They are likely to tell you what's going on.
