Hi Everyone,

I need to decide which to use - sbsbackup or ntbackup via batch file. I
currently use ntbackup with batch file on all my sites and having done a
quick google there seem to be a good few postings re sbsbackup not
completing scheduled backups etc. Is a scheduled ntbackup done via a batch
file more robust? If so is the batch file on Mariettes site also applicable
to sbs2003? Any views on the 'best' way to go?

TIA,
Steve
