NT unattended backup problems

Hi all,

I scheduled some unattended backups on our NT server by using a script (mybackup.cmd) and the 'AT' command. The 'AT' command I used is:

AT 22:00 /every:M,T,W,Th,F mybackup.cmd

and the text of 'mybackup.cmd' is:

ntbackup backup d: /v /b /l "d:\backup.log"

This works just fine the first day after rebooting the server, but will not work on any other night. In fact, I can't even start the Backup program manually.

Another problem was when I included two lines in 'mybackup.cmd'. When the file looked like this:

ntbackup backup c: /v /b /l "d:\backup.log"
ntbackup backup d: /a /v /b /l "d:\backup.log"

it would only backup the C drive, and ignore the second line (to backup the D drive).

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much.
