>From your note below, you can back up the file manually using the GUI, but the >scheduler doesn't see it, right? I've seen that happen for 2 additional reasons than those mentioned eariler in this thread. 1) The scheduler doesn't have permissions to the root of E:. Remember that the scheduler is running under a different account than when you are logged in manually. Most people let the scheduler run under the SYSTEM account (Windows scheduler properties, logon tab). One thing you could try is changing the scheduler properties so that it runs under YOUR id temporarily, see if you get different results. 2) Your Windows OS doesnt' see that drive as a local drive. I have seen that happen occasionally, depending on your version of Windows and what external SAN hardware you are using (which gets HBA's & drivers involved). In that case, you can try backing it up as a network drive, by including a DOMAIN statement with the fully-qualified UNC name, like you did for IMAGE: DOMAIN "\\hostname\d$" In this case, you definitely have to have the scheduler running under a network-capable account, not just "system". Also: INCLUDE.BACKUP "*:\ECG\*" This gets all ECG folders on all drives, THAT ARE IN THE ROOT of the drive. If you want to get ALL folders named ECG, change it to: INCLUDE.BACKUP "*.\ECG\...\*" Hope some of that helps!
