XP Pro Backup, Saving Options&Settings in .JOBs
Saving Backup "Jobs" in XP Pro SP3 Backup (Veritas) only appears to save your
Directory/file selections in the .BKS File. Other important settings like the options, and the Backup File Name are not included. This makes it impossible to create one Backup Job for Daily Backups and another for Incremental. Am I doing something wrong or is this the way it is supposed to work? |

set to choose what files to save,save the data in a new folder you create,once its thru,move folder to cd,dvd,etc..This backups all the user files,settings,etc..

Sorry Andrew. I don't know what you are trying to tell me. I do not knoe
how to access the transfer wizard, and even if i did, how would that help me in creating a backup job file .BKS?

XP Pro Backup, Saving Options&Settings in .JOBs
Thanks Twayne,
I do not care what is in the log.. I want to create a Backup job I can run on demand (.BSK) I want to select from the Menu Job - Daily and it loads the settings for an incremental load Then, If i Select Job -Full It should load the settings for a "Normal" backup. These are examples of options settings that are not dtored in the .BKS "Twayne" wrote: "Derz" wrote in message Saving Backup "Jobs" in XP Pro SP3 Backup (Veritas) only appears to save your Directory/file selections in the .BKS File.

Umm, sorry about that.
If it's the batch file giving you problems, I'd check in alt.msdos.batch.nt which is a group that specializes in XP batch files. They are excellent there and many still work in the industry with DOS files. Be sure to let them know your expertise level or you may not understand the snippets & samples they give youg. You'd have to find a server that still carries the alt.* heirarchy; there are a lot of them still around, like eternal-september.org. Of course, Task Scheduler could run the backups/batches on a schedule, too. Say a Full every month and incrementals in between or whatever you may need.
