NTBACKUP help please

[Tony Tuccillo]

Hi,
I'm currently using the following batch file on 2003
standard server:
==========================================================
rsm.exe refresh /LF"Seagate STT3401A"
timeout /t 30 /nobreak
for /f "Tokens=1-4 Delims=/ " %%i in ('date /t') do set
dt=%%i-%%j-%%k-%%l
for /f "Tokens=1" %%i in ('time /t') do set tm=-%%i
set tm=%tm::=-%
set dtt=%dt%%tm%
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntbackup.exe backup "@C:\Documents
and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Windows
NT\NTBackup\data\Eagle.bks" /n "Media Created %
dtt%" /d "Set Created %dtt%" /v:no /r:no /rs:no /hcn /m
normal /j "Eagle" /l:s /p "miniQIC"
rsm.exe eject /PF"Media Created %dtt% - 1" /astart
exit
==========================================================

and I want to use the same batch file on a Windows 2000
standard server. However, on the second line,
the "timeout" command doesn't work on Windows 2000. Can
someone tell me what the Windows 2000 command equivalent
is to pause the batch file for 30 seconds ?

Most appreciated !

Tony

or use "Sleep" from the Windows 2000 Resource Kit

sleep 30
