Hi all Come across a stumbling block wonder if anyones got any ideas, on windows 2000 rdisk don't exist, as ERD is built into NTBackup, and looking thru the help file for ntbackup theres no command prompt switches that can be used for ERD making only backup and restore, Does anyone know if its possible to automate ntbackup to make a ERD either to A: or directory using command line switches so it could be used in this way. Any ideas appreciated. -- Best regards, Gareth, MCP mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Saturday, September 22, 2001, 11:57:48 PM, you wrote: CS> As long as the rdisk /s works on W2K it will work.
