XP backup on multi-user pc

[Guest]

Hi all,
I am trying to setup xp backup to backup one folder to a network drive.
This pc is a multi-user pc. What I have noticed is that if I setup the backup
under one users, the backup job does not run under a different user, the
schedule is present but no selections are made. what am I doing wrong. the
users are part of the backup opeators group,

Unfortunately, I'm not sure about XP backup, but I'd recommend you to
use backup software instead of XP backup which has very pour
functionality. I use Drive Backup (http://www.drive-backup.com) and
satisfied with it. Using this soft will solve your problem for
certain, becase it offers to install for every user during
installation process.

It's better to buy latest version to receive maximum features but if
you don't want to spend money you can download free special edition
from their blog: http://paragon-software.blogspot.com/2007/01/paragon-

Hi
I've been using TD Backup a vbs backup script and calling it from the
domain server for all users, the script from www.dustan.co.uk is free
and it has a progress bar, backup logs, dates, time, sizes etc what
you could do is just add the path of the folder in the script that you
want to backup.

Hope this helps
