Guest luc bonenfant Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 hello, I 'd like to backup files every nights in a new "bkf" file via ntbackup (svr 2003) for example : c:\backup\2008_06_04.bkf c:\backup\2008_06_05.bkf c:\backup\2008_06_06.bkf .. I 'd like to use %date% but it looks like 2008/06/04 so "/" don't works fine in files name. Any solutions ? thank's PS : if you have the complete nt backup command for this, I ll be glade !

Guest Pegasus \(MVP\) Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Re: variable system Type set /? and look for "Character substitution" to see how I replaced slashes with dashes. The failure you report is unlikely to be caused by the %MyDate% substitution. Post your backup command so that we can see what you're doing.

Guest Pegasus \(MVP\) Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Re: system variable Re: system variable Your problem lies probably here: \\Frpoi-bex\E$ What account do you use for the scheduled job? Does it have write-access to \\Frpoi-bex\E$? You can easily find out by using the Task Scheduler to run this batch file: @echo off echo %date% %time% %UserName% >> c:\test.txt copy /y %SystemRoot%\System32\more.com \\Frpoi-bex\E$ 1>>c:\test.txt 2>>&1 C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntbackup.exe backup "@C:\Documents and Settings\luc\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows NT\NTBackup\data\system_state_ad3.bks" /n "SYSTEMESTATE_AD_3.bkf created 17/04/2008 at 15:04" /d "Set created 17/04/2008 at 15:04" /v:yes /r:no /rs:no /hc:off /m copy /j "system_state_ad3" /l:s /f "\\Frpoi-bex\E$\ADdeAD3\%date:/=-%_SYSTEMESTATE_AD_3.bkf" 1>>c:\test.txt 2>>&1 Now have a look at c:\test.txt - it will tell you a lot! You must also examine the backup log that is generated by ntbackup.exe.
