Re: NT Backup

Paul,

I finally was able to schedule my backup jobs using the Unmanaged method in
Microsoft Knowledge Base 239892.

Again, thank you very much for taking time to assist me. I have learned
some of the troubleshooting method of NTBACKUP.

Paul,

I am looking at the Removable Storage MMC. I was wondering if the backup
tape needs to be in the Media or Media Pools or Libraries folder. We
have an external SCSI tape drive. The tape drive is Compaq AIT 50 GB
drive.

Thanks.

So it worked with the account that it won't work with in the scheduled
task?

Thanks very much for your suggestion, Paul. The NTBackup command ran
successfully.

Thanks.

Form a command prompt run the command below, make sure you replace
USERNAME with the name of the user that is running the scheduled task

runas /user:USERNAME cmd

This will open up a new command prompt with the same authority as the
user in the scheduled task. Try running the ntbackup from this new
command prompt.

Thank you for your response, Enkidu. I ran the script from the
command line and the backup went through without any problems. Do
you have any other suggestions?

Thanks.

Hi Diane,

Just checking, did you try running the script from the command line
to see if it has errors?

Cheers,

Cliff

Hello Diane,

Please try to stop and restart the services as following:
1. Open services console. 2. Stop the Task Scheduler and then
restart it.
If the problem still persists, would you please help me collect
the following information:
1. Collcet the Scheduled task log as following:
1) Open the scheduled task console. 2) Click Advanced menu and
then select View Log. 3) Please post the log to newsgroup.
2. Please post the detailed error message of Event Log to
newsgroup (if some exists). 3. Create a new schedule and check if
the problem still persists.


Thank you very much for your prompt response, MyWeb

I opened Scheduled Tasks, the error under Status was 0x2. If I
right-click and select Run now, the window pops up and flashes
quickly
and then close. I can't see what the screen says.

Please let me know if you need additional information or have any
questions.


If you open Scheduled Tasks, you can see yours and maybe an
error or
the status of the task. What happens if your rightclick and take
run
now?

We are running Windows 2003 server. This server is a Domain
Controller.
We scheduled the backup jobs using NTBackup. However, the
scheduled
backup
jobs did not run. Is there a way to find out why the backup
did not
run?
I checked the Event Viewer and did not see anything regarding
to
backup.
