The help file also contains command-line examples. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Allen Allen KiX Supporter Registered: 2003-04-19 Posts: 4572 Loc: USA	Try this... This works on XP Backup, not sure about 2k. Code: C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntbackup.exe backup SystemState /a /d "System State" /v:no /r:no /rs:no /hc:off /m normal /j "System State" /l:s /f "C:\Backup.bkf" How to Use Command Line Parameters With the "Ntbackup" Command _________________________ (... better days ahead)

Co Co MM club member Registered: 2000-11-20 Posts: 1342 Loc: NL	I tought we are talking about a repairdisk like Rdisk creates in NT4.. Rdisk isn't included in >NT4.

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	well... for a "simple" solution, you only need the reg-hives. for little bit harder solution, you also need startup stuff. maybe even setup.log... well, way or another, there is a repair disk, but as my source tells me: Quote: W2K's ERD contains only the Setup.log, Autoexec.nt, and Config.nt files, but you can still use it to repair your installation if you have problems with the registry, system files, partition boot sector, or startup environment. Note that you still cannot use the ERD to book your computer. http://listproc.ucdavis.edu/archives/win2k-share/log0012/0000.html so, what you actually do with this disk is nothing. as NT based systems do not require you to have the diskette for you to be able to have the ability to repair. so, I'm starting to wonder, what is going on in here? who needs to have automated way to create something useless? _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	still one thing I haven't studied... if you do a ASR backup in w2k3 it requires one floppy. what that floppy stands for and why it's needed? I bet it does not have boot from tape drivers. _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Glenn Barnas Glenn Barnas KiX Supporter Registered: 2003-01-28 Posts: 4402 Loc: New Jersey	I posted a SystemStateBackup (SSB.Kix) script to the Scripts forum that may be of interest. It uses this format, but limits the number of daily invocations (could be important at 250M per) and removes prior files after a specified retention period.
