The problem you will run into on Windows is that if the scheduler runs as a service under the default system account accessing the shares won't be possible, you will need to configure the service to log in under an account which can access the CIFS shares.
If the NetApp filer is configured to be a trusted domain member (and the account the scheduler service runs under is a domain admin) you should be able to backup the shares directly via the UNC names. If the filer isn't a trusted domain member it is a little more difficult as you must supply credentials in order to authenticate the shares with the filer, and as previously suggested this can be done with NET USE commands in a pre-schedule command.

I was coming to the conclusion that this would have to be scripted, at least for the CIFS shares. Do you leave the various shares mapped/used, or do you "net use /delete" them at the end of your script? I might experiment with a PRESCHEDULECMD script to do the "net use" bits and then add the shares to the DOMAIN (if that works -- I'm totally not a Windows admin). Though I suppose it'd be wiser to script the entire thing, as you did, so there's only one place to add or remove filespaces. =Dave Colwell, William F. wrote: > > I can't comment on your error messages, but you asked how I schedule > snapdiff backups. > > The schedule invokes a command on the client.
