I've got it all worked thanks to your help. The backup is now saved to
\\server\share\WshNetwork.ComputerName\sfilename.evt. Thanks to another
tidbit I found at Microsoft that allowed me to resolved the computername and
use it as a folder name.
I now need some guidance on the next task... parsing the backed up security
log for administrator account usage. I would like all instances found to
log specifics to a csv file.
Any suggestions?
