CORRECTION - Having taken a look at this now, I'd go with Deji on this one ... the script shouldn't proceed until NTBACKUP has exited ... something else methinks.

Look at the service's properties. The NTBACKUP line should finish ALL the backup before going to the next line.

So the steps are (roughly)... Stop service A Backup various folders + AD Restart Service A What's happening is Service A restarts before Backup has completed, causing a few files in the folder to be locked and not backed up. I want the service restart to wait until ntbackup has exited. I'm looking now at the START command with /WAIT switch. Am I on the right track? <mc> -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 20, 2005 4:33 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] backup script If you are doing the backup through a batch script, then after the backup is completed, it should return to the next line in the batch script.

I would like to add additional steps to the script, but I'm not sure how to capture that NTBackup has completed and exited before the next command runs. Anyone know how to do that? Thanks!
