Run the batch file under an account with "Backup"
and "run as batch" privileges.

First test it though, interactively and see if you even
have the syntax correct or post the exact commands
here.

Also, in batch files it is important not to make
assumptions about environment variabls, especially
the path, and the current directory.

If NTBackup is not given sufficient switches to run
without interaction it shows the windowed interface
and waits for the user to select.
