Scheduled Task

by engr . Updated 23 years, 10 months ago

Hello …
I have Win NT 4.0 SP6.0 Alpha server and I am trying to automate a backup task that will backup a file to the tape drive Unfortunately my server does not have the scheduled task utility. i dont know why!!! So i am using the AT comman utility.

I have done the following:

1. Created a batch file and added the following line to it ” ntbackup backup h:\tapebackup /hc:off /t normal /tape:0″

2. ran the previous line on the command prompt to check if it will work or not. IT IS WORKING FINE.

3. Added a task to run that file once a month ” at 2:00 /every:25 h:\pi\auto_backup.bat.

Unfortunately, i assumed this task does not run the ntbackup utility correctly because utility didnt start and tape didnt start recording.

Q. what can i do to fix the task and make ntbackup run from a scheduled batch file ?

Q. Is there an installation kit to install the Microsoft Scheduled Task utility that is normally available under Control Panel ?

your help is very muchappreciated
