Wbadmin Start backup -backuptarget:\\targetbackupserver\targetshare -Include:c:,E:,f: -vssfull -allCritical -noinheritacl -quiet -user:domain\username -Password:userpassword OK I took out specific info, but this is the command I use to backup many of our servers. I choose this one because you can see it has multiple drives. This server is running Server 2008 R2, however the same command works on 2008. I would suggest after you set it up to try a restore to verify everything is working fine. That is exactly what we have done. The biggest problem is that everytime you run it, you overwrite the old backup so you only have the latest backup. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
