Running windows NT 4.0 and I need to start backing up the web server from the main server. I tried this syntax last night. AT 23:00 ntbackup d:\ e:\ f:\ g:\ \\remote_2 d:\ e:\ /a /d daily backup /hc:on /t incremental /l "c:\backlogs\dailylog.txt" /tape:1 according to the log it backed up the main server but ignored the remote server. I thought of maybe mapping a drive to the main server but am not sure exactly how that should be done, or if that is the best solution. Anyone have an Idea?
Thanks in advance

Right click network neiborhood and choose map network drive - map it to another drive letter and restart the machine.
Then alter the backup script to include this newly mapped drive.
It worked for me mate ...

this will not work for me. I am trying to do something similar, but i get an error message saying that the account (I presume the system account) does not have the rights to access this drive.
