I need help on writing a script file to use on NT backup.
The Primary server tape drive went bad and I am using a NT member server to backup the main share drives over the network, however, there are no scheduler with standard NT.
I am asking for a sample script file to run while waiting for the repair on the main tape drive.

Thanks in advance.



 
NT does have a schedular its called at. at the command prompt type AT ?

the "AT" command calls the "schedule" service, which is not set to start at boot by default. You need to set that service to "automatic" in the services applet of the control panel. Then you will be able to use the AT service to run "ntbackup" refer to the help files for the command line parameters.
