Well I was modifying Glenn's code to hook into a semi-automated PST backup to external USB drive and found that you can't backup a single file via the command line. You have to use a file that ntbackup reads. It is a .BKS file and you call it with an @filepath+filename.bks

So now I have to add a bit more code to actually write the file first and then call it. You can do folder backups with all command line or systemstate but not single files.

But, thanks for putting your code together so I could rip it apart for my own use Glenn.
