Setup a "Service Account", that is an account in the Domain that is used for this service. Set it's password to never expire. Give this id the appropriate rights.

It keeps failing with ANS1228E Sending of object '\\ntpc1676\sx65db' failed ANS1063E Invalid path specification After searching the archives, it seems that my problem here is security on the remote share. I believe it is set up as Read for Everyone. Does this not include my TSM node's local account? What do most of you do in this case. I'm reluctant to user a domain userid for this. I've had experience where if this userid gets locked or someone just changes the password then all my backups crash. TIA, Bill Boyer "There's no place like ~ There's no place like ~" - ???
