Is there any reason why I cannot do a Scheduled backup to a Remote Shared Folder? The account I'm using to setup the backup has the appropriate permissions on the target folder. Thx

It has to the way you configued the backup. Have you double checked that all permissions are correct and that the server can connect to the remote folder?
Can you copy files to it?

Are you using 2008 Task Scheduler to run the task? I'm having problems getting the task to run on a Windows Server 2008 domain controller when I try to run it under a non-admin account.

I've got the scheduled backup working. you have to manually set it up via a batch file.

wbadmin start backup -include:c:,e: -backupTarget:\\10.0.0.2\public\Backups\Current -user:username to run job -password:password -quiet

Then we ran the batch file via scheduler. Works just fine.

The problem comes in when I want to preserve that backup and run another the following night with the same destination name. My idea is to run a script (vbs) which renames the original folder (adding he date) and then away we go.... Do this 4 times then on the 5th evening rename the current folder as "Old" and create a new current folder.

This script runs fine manually but for some reason won't schedule.:mad:

Any Ideas?

Cheers
