It should. One problem that I mentioned was that the settime schedule didn't work either. And that has nothing to do with the tape drive. That's what goes out and updates the time on the server. NOTHING that I schedule seems to work. I ran a manual backup with the tape drive and that worked just fine, I don't think it's the driver. Any other ideas? Thanks Dianna To: windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [windows2000] Re: ntbackup question I know this is a pretty basic question, but does the program running the backup have the proper permissions?
