We have a PDC and a BDC on one domain. We used scheduled NT Backup in backing up user files in the BDC. Back-up is run mainly on the PDC.
I tried to run NT Backup manually and I was able to backup all network drives in the BDC that I wish.
When Irun unattended / scheduled back-up, error prompts that there is no permission to backup network drives and folders in the BDC.
How can I backup network drives using unattended / scheduled NT Backup? Is there a way or do I have to include some parameters in the batch file to be run?
Thanks.

Depend by you batch file. Maybe if you map the drives of BDC on PDC you will be able to run scheduled backup from PDC.

For a no-hassle backup, I would recommend:
LeBackup-Pro

Reg is only $12 and it is wonderful.
We have tried ARCServe in addition to NT Backup.
Problems - hassles.

Give it a try and I think you will agree.

I am now backing up to a LAN station and to a WAN server nightly with no problems. It will also compress and encrypt if you need to.
