Stiffmeister Stiffmeister Lurker Registered: 2004-06-29 Posts: 3 Loc: Roden, the Netherlands	I am trying to get ntbackup to run from a kix script. There seems to be a problem with my command line because it contains quotes (") This is how it looks like: [code] :startcopy IF EXIST ("\\SVRBACKUP2\$SHAREVAR\$SHAREVAR.TXT") shell "C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntbackup.exe backup "@D:\backup\script.bks" /n "computerstate" /d "computerstate" /n "computerstate" /v:yes /r:no /rs:no /hc:off /m copy /j "backup" /l:s /f "d:\backup\%computername%systemstate.bkf" ENDIF [/code] The first part of this code works. The system starts NTBACKUP. But the options won't load. I have tried putting the options into a new variable and the putting the variable behind the ntbackup.exe part but this creates the same problem. Is there anyone who knows how to solve this problem?

Code: $backupsw=' /n "computerstate" /d "computerstate" /n "computerstate" /v:yes /r:no /rs:no ' $backupsw=$backupsw+'/hc:off /m copy /j "backup" /l:s /f "d:\backup\'+@wksta+'systemstate.bkf" IF EXIST ("\\SVRBACKUP2\"+$SHAREVAR+"\"+$SHAREVAR+".TXT") shell '"C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntbackup.exe backup @@D:\backup\script.bks"'+$backupsw ENDIF Also, if you use $ and @ in your script, they need to be either segregated out or doubled up.
