Ntbackup seems not to start properly 30 to 50% of the time.





Ntbackup seems not to start properly 30 to 50% of the time.


I have a simple script running from scheduler. The script runs as expected, however, the ntback command in it does not always run properly.

When it fails to run the log file is always empty and has a time stamp 33 minutes after the start of the script. Also when it fails there are no entries for ntback in the event log.

This happens on two separate Win2003 R2 server machines.

There is a mention in technet that someone being logged in can cause random failures. In the case of these machines no-one is logged in and it is almost every other run that fails.

Anyone any ideas?
