The usual cause of that is NT permissions. The scheduler (usually) runs under the system account; it requires access to the root of the D: drive. It works when you do a manual backup because you are running under the current logon id, which has probably has different access rights from the

Sounds like a security issue - the Schedule Service uses the System Account by default - ensure that this has access to the D drive (or whatever account you are using for the Service account has access). -Original Message- From: Joni Moyer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: October 3, 2003
