WinXP scheduled backup to LAN Win98 network drive fails - error 0x
I've been trying to get my Windows XP systems (SP1 and SP2) to perform
scheduled backups to a local network drive hosted by a windows 98 system. The manually initiated backups run fine, but all backups scheduled with the Windows scheduler fail with an error "01xf". Any ideas? |

WinXP scheduled backup to LAN Win98 network drive fails - error 0x
Are these mapped drives or are you using a uniform naming convention? What
backup program are you using? XP home or Pro? "zz" wrote in message ... correction - the error is "0x1f"...

WinXP scheduled backup to LAN Win98 network drive fails - erro
Hi, I solved it after I sent the note - it made me think about the way I had
it set up. I was trying to perform the backups on a schedule to run unattended using the Windows XP "Scheduled Tasks", one on XP Pro, one with XP Home. I realized that while I was logged on, I had the target network drive mapped as a drive number. However, to run unattended I needed to put in the specific path such as \\computer\shareddrive\directory. I also had the additional wrinkle of connecting to a backup drive that is "hidden" from view on the network and does not appear browsing "network neighborhood". So, the only way I found to do all that using the backup tool (standard NT/XP backup tool that comes with Windows) was to create the backup and schedule it as per usual, then find the task in the Scheduled Tasks list, look in properties and change the appropriate part of the commnad line (in the "Run" line) from "F:\filename.bkf" to the appropriate format of "\\computer\shareddrive\directory\filename.bkf " (substituting my real path and parameters, of course.) It works like a charm.... "gf" wrote: Are these mapped drives or are you using a uniform naming convention? What backup program are you using? XP home or Pro?
