I run mine in a batch file and then call the batch file from Bacula: The file c:\bacula-systemstate.bat contains: c:\windows\system32\ntbackup.exe backup systemstate /F c:\SERVERNAME-systemstate.bkf Then in the Bacula config I put: Client Run Before Job = "c:/bacula-systemstate.bat" > > I have two problems with it: > > - It doesn't work.
