When I select the "Print" option while viewing
a Backup job I am not seeing the actual directories that are being backed up. Is there a way to turn this option on?? Here's a sample report..

Backup Status
Operation: Backup
Active backup destination: DLT
Media name: "Trial Backups #2"

Backup of "E: Local Disk"
Backup set #42 on media #1
Backup description: "Set created 8/22/2002 at 2:31 PM"
Backup Type: Normal

Thank you
Fernando

You need to enable the detailed option to view the files listed in the Report.
Open NTBACKUP and click Tools -> Options. Click on the Backup Log tab.
In this window, select the option Detailed. Click OK, and now do a backup.
When the backup is done, click Tools -> Report. Select this backup job you just did, and View the report.
Scroll down, and there are the files and folders it backed up!
Now, this detailed info will NOT be added to past backup, only from that time onward.

hope this helps
