It is somewhat complicated. My server runs Linux, and the file system is e2fs, which is disclosed to the Windows workstations by Samba. However, the backup is entirely done in Linux. I have noticed one difference in environment variables: if I run locale in the cron job, I get all language variables set to "POSIX", and if I run it from a shell (when it works without messages) all variables are "en_US". However, when I paste the output from locale under the shell into the batch file, I still get those messages! -- joop gerritse Mühlenstraße 11 D-47546 Kalkar-Wissel Germany +49-2824-971487
