Thanks, Bill. I was coming to the conclusion that this would have to be scripted, at least for the CIFS shares. Do you leave the various shares mapped/used, or do you "net use /delete" them at the end of your script?
I might experiment with a PRESCHEDULECMD script to do the "net use" bits and then add the shares to the DOMAIN (if that works -- I'm totally not a Windows admin). Though I suppose it'd be wiser to script the entire thing, as you did, so there's only one place to add or remove filespaces. =Dave Colwell, William F. wrote: > > I can't comment on your error messages, but you asked how I schedule > snapdiff backups. > > The schedule invokes a command on the client.
