Client Run Before Job = "cmd /c if [%l]==[Full] ntbackup <...>" I did not try it, so you might need to fix the escaping and/or specify a path to cmd.exe. > The service currently runs under the local system account.

I just do: start /w "" ntbackup backup systemstate /F "<filename>" and it works without a hitch, on both xp and xp x64; I had to add the "start /w" bit in order to halt the script until ntbackup is done. andrea ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
