Those quotes never make it over to the Windows side, since they are stripped by the invoking shell (unless you do something to the shell). > I added the single quotes on the path itself such as: > -backuptarget:'\\SERVERNAME\PATH\TO\SHARE' > and this time it worked via cygwin terminal, > but it still does not work via ssh for some reason That quoting just ensures you don't need to write "\\\\SERVER\\PATH" like you would with double quotes. > On cygwin on the windows nodes, I made sure they are using bash > on the linux node by default we use kornshell > > Since nothing has changed, do you think this difference in shell may > be the difference? I don't know. But if you're dealing with multiple and possibly different levels of quote removal, things get ugly really fast. It seems a lot simpler to just put that command in a shell script, test that thoroughly and then just call that script remotely. You could make that script the login shell for a service user and can then just ssh to that user to start the backup. Or, since we're talking Windows after all, install the wbadmin command as a service that can be started from Cygwin (this would have the advantage that it's easily started manually from task manager as well).
