OK. The list bounced my first message because of the attached .bat file.
And the second because I forgot to delete the attachment.
So now it's just stuck on the end of the message. I hope it doesn't
use up all the % characters in the computer.
Ntbackup can do it. I schedule a batch file that generates the .bks
file, which has to be little-endian unicode with no FEFF. Then it runs
ntbackup. I don't know about win2k, but I've copied ntbackup to XP home
and it works fine.
I've attached the batch file if you want to see the horrible twisted
cmd syntax.
It's a work in progress. However, we recently lost a Seagate drive
(another one!?), and with it a .pst file. There was a fairly recent backup,
so we're ok, but it WILL BE backed up DAILY in the future.
