Ntbackup wont run

[Christer Svensson]

I have scheduled the backup to run every night, often it
doesn't start, and the logfile is empty.
I use the command:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntbackup.exe backup @C:\Documents and
Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Windows NT\NTBackup\data\GUMA.bks /n
GUMA /d GUMA /v:yes /r:no /rs:no /hcn /m normal /j
GUMA /l:s /p 4mm DDS /um

Anybody has any ideas?

Best regards

Run the command or batchfile from the command line and see what
happens. Also look in the application log in the Event Viewer.
