Hi,

I want to back up the C and F drives on a W2K3 server on a daily basis to a file share on another server. I have a full backup and now I want to catch any changes.
Here is what I have so far;

Start /wait C:\WINNT\system32\ntbackup backup \\myserver\c$ /j "Sharepoint" /f "x:\myserver\Aug022004.bkf" /a

I am do not think this is quite right. Also, How do I tell it to back up both C and F?

Use the backup Wizard to select and schedule the backup.
Then copy the command from the properties of the Scheduled job.
Then delete the schedule if you don't want it.

I agree with Jerold, the easiest way to create a well formed command line
for backup is to create a scheduled job and then copy the command syntax
from the job to use at the command line.

Here is a link to a procedure for creating the scheduled job:
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/...en-us/ntbackup_schedule_backup.asp?frame=true

Once you've created the schedule, you'll need to go to the "Scheduled Jobs"
tab in Backup and double-click on the job. Then, in the "Scheduled Job
Options" dialog, click on the "Properties" button. This will open the
"Schedule Job" dialog which will have a box titled "Run" that contains the
command line syntax to run that job. Copy and paste that text to use at the
command line.

Hopefully, that will help :)
