Re: NTBACKUP.EXE and SBS2003 Clients



You need to create shares on the clients in order to see anything to backup.
That said, most data should be on the server but if you share a folder on a
client then NTBackup should be able to get to it. The only thing it can't
backup remotely is the system state and open files so don't count on it as a
full backup of the client.
