NT Backup job saves

Is there a way to save a particular backup job i.e. only certain drives, directories and files without having to tell it every time a backup is performed.

Try using NTBACKUP.exe (command line) and AT.exe (command line interface to scheduler service). You will have to write a *.bat or *.cmd to execute the backup.

Yes,
NT Backup can work via command line, features like what to backup up etc are simple switches that can be placed in the command line. You can then make a .bat file to further simplify the operation and in WinAT you can schedule the backup.
I setup quite a few systems to do just that. I use Seagate backup exec., its pretty good. There are a couple of other apps that are very nice as well.

The guys are quite right, we use Backup Exec here, formerly Seagate, now Veritas again. It allows you to setup backups on a daily/weekly schedule also full or differential backups.
