Right, for W2K3 use ntbackup (heard it was not in W2K8 anymore, anyone know the replacement?) to back up the system state, which should include registry files. For this I added in my job definitions: ClientRunBeforeJob = "if [%l]==[Full] (ntbackup backup systemstate /F c:\\systemstate.bkf)" ClientRunAfterJob = "del c:\\systemstate.bkf" ClientRunAfterJob = "del \"c:\\Documents and Settings\\Default User\\Local Settings\\Application Data\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\NTBackup\\data\\backup*.log\"" This runs the commands on the server and does a compare, if backup level is full then does an ntbackup (so not on 'incremental==full' etc.) and deletes the temp files afterward (systemstate is overwritten but it takes up space, logs keep piling up otherwise). You need to have a few hundred MB free on C: for the systemstate.bkf file and the full backups take a few minutes longer. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
