I'm trying to figure out how to create a batch file that
will allow me to run a weekly job in the scheduler that
will run an unattended job to create an ERD in Windows
2000/2003. It wasn't a problem in NT with Rdisk, but now
that I have to use ntbackup, I'm having a problem. I
thought I had it when I did a system state backup to disk,
but now a realize that's not everything I need. Below are
the two files I'm working with, any help would obviously
be appreciated!!!

to do the floppy/ERD part.

{ENTER} instead of ~)

WScript.Sleep("15000"); //pauses for 15 seconds so as to
not Enter the Cancel!!! You may need to change this.

[ snipped files ]

AFAIK there is no way to run W2K ntbackup from a command-line to do
an "ERD" backup. SystemState _is_ possible IIRC.

1) Check out ERUNT:
http://home.t-online.de/home/lars.hederer/erunt/
This is likely the easiest Free solution.

2) Batch a solution using regback.exe (from the Resource Kit) and
COPY/or XCOPY. That's what I use. I even get my Curent_User with it
and all zipped (Info-Zip) to a storage directory named by Date.
