>From a post a few weeks ago about the shares: You could use Reg.exe (from the NT Resource Kit) or 'regedit /e' at the command line to export 'HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Shares' to a flat file for documentation purposes and then merge it (or a portion of it) back into the registry after a restore.
As far as the printer definitions are concerned, I'm sure there's a similar key in the registry where this info is stored and you could use the same procedure outlined above to deal with that as well. You could either schedule a batch job with AT to create the registry exports or put the batch job in a PRESCHEDULECMD file so that it gets created prior to the backups.

If so, where is it located? Thanks, Cory >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 01/28/02 11:03AM >>> Hoi Orin! Share definitions are stored in the registry. You have to restore the registry to restore shares.

The restore brought the folders and data back just fine. However, the shares were not restored. Is there a way to do this?
