Stanley,

Is the script supposed to start automatically in the background?
Or will ir be manually initiated?
If it fires automatically, who will be around (and logged on) to respond to
any dialog boxes?
What about using "ntbackup" to create compressed BKF files?
How many copies to reside on the file server?
Must the script keep at least one good copy, i.e. only remove/delete the
previous backup as long as the current backup actually works?
How much data are we talking about from the client?  How many different
clients will run this backup?

I have a DOS script that could run as a scheduled task, and thus you could
configure for the scheduled task to run as a particular user name
automatically, but it will stop working as soon as the password for the
account is changed.

Let me know if you want a copy, it's a DOS script of medium complexity.

Regards,
Dave.



thanks very much pegasus..

I wanted the vbscript for the "Abort, retry, Cancel" command box and to
check for the network connectivity before the xcopy is fired...

Could anyone please guide me to a good scripting resource. I hav experience
working in vb.

A batch file would be considerably simpler:

@echo off
xcopy  /s  /d  /y  /c  "d:\My Files"  \\My Server\Some Share\Some Folder

Make sure to schedule the command under an account that has sufficient
privileges to access the the source & target areas.

Dear all,

I wanted the vbscript for script for scheduled backing up local content
files to the network file storage on a weekly basis.

Could anyone please help....

Thanks..
Stan

I thought that DOS was an operating system that was retired some
fifteen years ago?  :-)

VBScript yet.  I prefer OpenVMS DCL as a scripting language, but these days
most things I do are in VBScript.

She do not belong to account operator group therefore I need that script will be run as another user with rights to change user password etc. User and passwor dcould be encoded in script.
