back-up mappings???????

[Guest_imported]

Ok....I have one book that tells me to do one thing and one book that tells me to do another??????


I'm running WinAT to run my back-ups at night.....We we're doing FULL back, but I'm going to change that to Differential..... this is one change.....the other is that I need to Back-up another drive!!!

Full on Fri. and Differential on M,T,W,Th

This is where I have a Questions about the mapping!!!!!!
Book 1 Said I could use //Server/driveletter$: to map.
Book 2 siad I had to map the driver to the PDC, then Use the "mapped drive letter".

Below I will put the two Command lines:

1.ntbackup backup c: d: //ntserver_1/f$: /v /b /hcn /t differential /l "c:\daily.log" /e

2.ntbackup backup c: d: v: /v /b /hcn /t differential /l "c:\daily.log" /e

Where //ntserver_1/f$: = v:

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks,

Jeff

I've always done it like this:

net use n: \\servername\c$
net use o: \\servername\d$
ntbackup backup c: d: n: o: /v /b /hcn /t differential /l "c:\daily.log" /e
net use o: /delete
net use n: /delete

I don't trust going directly to a URL "on the fly".

Hope this helps... - Bill
