Re: back not backing up



Look in "c:\documents and settings" for files called
"backup*.log". They are located in the profile folder
of the account under which you ran the backup job.
The command
dir /s "%userprofile%\..\backup*.log"
will find them for you if you still think they are not there.
What do they contain?
