NTBACKUP - saving a backup procedure

[Bernie]

How can I create a custom backup procedure that can be initiated by clicking an icon.
Currently the only options I can find is to 1. Backup now or 2 Schedule a backup.

I want to back up specified files using the incremental option and I want to do this without having to go thru the wizard each time.

[David Candy]

Schedule it and copy it from Task Scheduler.

Thanks David, BUT -- after copying to desktop and clicking desktop icon, it is not executable. Is it just waiting for the scheduled time?
That's not what I wanted. I want to run it whenever.

Try clicking the properties. This isn't a tutorial group.

Ignore David C's posts: He is an idiot-moron who figures
if he gives one even partial response that everyone is an
idiot because they can't follow his instructions. He's done
everything from swing the f-word around to telling people to
commit suicide because he thinks they are too dumb to live.
He is a truly dangerous person to himself and to others.

You can do this by running ntbackup with the appropriate command line
parameters in a batch file. See
http://www.tek-tips.com/gfaqs.cfm/pid/96/fid/5023 for a helpful example.
(This references Win 2K but is compatible with XP.)
You can find additional information by searching on ntbackup in XP's Help
and Support.

I see you've changed you email address to evade being bozo binned. Are you
aware that is a breach of your ISP's AUP/C(T)OS (not that you've ever read
them, because you don't appeat to believe such things apply to you). No
matter. Abuse report sent to .

And you're a fat one to talk about obscenities - what was it you called me a
few weeks ago...? Oh yes, a f*cking moron. I have never seen David swear.
May I suggest you wash your own mouth out with the strongest chlorine bleach
you can find - oh and swallow it.

Bwahahahahahaha! You either deliberately ignore choice words in his post, or
you are a simplistic bint! I believe you're an arsed combination of the two.
Though David does curse, most of the recipients deserve it.

Thanks David, You lit my light bulb. I clicked properties, copied the run command into notepad, saved it to a file and created a shortcut on my desktop to run that file.
Works Great! I don't care what all the other people say about you, maybe you won't give all the TUTORIAL steps, but at least you led me down the right path.
