Hi Scott, I might be completely wrong but have you tried to append .exe to the ntbackup command?
On my systems at least the full path is c:\WINDOWS\system32\ntbackup.exe Microsoft normally tries to be nice and append the .exe extension automatically, but something may have changed in the latest version that interferes with that. However, it also hides the extension in by default in Explorer which leads to confusion more often than not in my experience. What version were you running before upgrading? And what version of Windows are you running? The answers to the above might help others answer your original question. Hope this helps, Troy Daniels. Perth Systems Admin. iTouch Australia (pty) ltd.
