Re: NTBackup is Killing me.......

Greetings

You loose the mappings when you log out of the server session. Hence the
backup tool cannot see those connections. Keep your session locked to backup
your networtk drives.

I believe that NT backup does not allow UNC paths.

Try this:
Write a bat file to run backup, net use to connect a drive, run the backup,
then disconnect the drive. Use the scheduler service to run the bat file.

Hope this helps
