Hi all , I have asked this question on the newbie list, but have had no luck so far.... The script below works ok from the command line but when I run it as a cron job, it starts ok, but stops after backing up a few directories. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? is it a bug with cron? btw, I'm using mdk9 and the files being backed up are on an nt server, but have had the same problem backing up an xp box. I had the same problem with drakebackup, tar and cp
