The Ntbackup is running for PDC (sbs 2003) and is a scheduled task. The
Ntbackup that runs from (sbs 2003) then backups up a network share ie Company
Drive and saving the backup file to the SBS 2003 box that the NTbackup
software runs on. There are only two servers involved (sbs 2003) which the
Ntbackup tool runs on and stores backup and the other w2k server that is a
member server of my domain that holds the data that is backed up.
Backup logging level is set to detailed.
Log file is created but is blank.
