Thanks Del This was my include: F:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Backup\*\*.*
I have since changed it to: F:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Backup\*\*.bak I will also add the exclude .mdf and .ldf Why would it try to backup the actual SQL database file though, which is in: F:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Data\ Regards Brent +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by bre...@puleng.co.za via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +----------------------------------------------------------------------
