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?

Since this happens quite often, you should try and watch what
happens. Set the scheduled backup time to some reasonable
hour, then start a console session a few minutes before the
scheduled start time, making sure to log on under the same
account as the one used for the scheduled job.
This is a frequent subject in this newsgroup and your feedback
would be appreciated.
Just been away for 5 days holidays, during which time the backups on the two servers failed.
Each night the script ran as a scheduled task, but the ntbackup routine itself did not. Again it just seems to think about running for 33 minutes and then exits. However, there is no entry in the event log.
Last night I RDC into each server in turn and waited. Both backups ran without any problems!
