Hi! I'm attempting to back up one NT 4.0 share (\\ntserver\businesswork) and one directory under another NT 4.0 share (\\ntserver\sys\ppidocs) I'm getting the message that the host is down when I do 'amcheck confname' Here are the relevant files.. can someone let me know if I'm just screwing up the syntax? Thanks, Michael Blinn
