    Backup configuration

    Actually, it's ntbackup /?, rather than backup /?. If you have any money, or are wanting something more than a basic backup program, go for Arcserve by Computer Associates or a similar product; ntbackup is a VERY basic backup program with almost no bells or whistles. Bill

    ntbackup log file hangs

    Thanks for the reply! Yep; I've got plenty of space (22Gb free). Yep; I know I need to get some real backup software...it's still going through approval. Sometimes when the log file is locked, I edit the .cmd file and change the name of the log file to something different. Sometimes this...

    I've got a couple of servers still running ntbackup to local 4mm dat drives. Using AT, I schedule this .cmd file to run each nite: ntbackup backup c:\ d:\ /d "Full Backup" /v /b /hc:on /t normal /l "d:\backups\backup.log" Every morning I manually rename the log file and...

    Backup Exec 7.0 Differential Backup Will not append

    A quick check would be to click the "job monitor" tab and see how big your full backup is. For example, if you're using a 4Gb tape and a full backup is 3.5Gb, and your diff's are .8Gb, then you won't be able to append the diff's to that tape (not enough space left); it will want to...

    Why won't my backup job append to my tape?

    Many times, backups in BENT won't append, or overwrite, or just plain behave like you think they should. Here's a brief list of things I've found over the years that may help you on your way to understanding. I may add things to this as time progresses. Good luck!! -Bill Why won't my...
