Forgive my ignorance but wouldn't the Pause statement
between the /AFULL and the start of the backup command
prevent the backup from running until someone hit a key on
the keyboard.
How did you create the backup batch file?
I use NTBACKUP to create the file, then go into the
scheduled tasks, from the control panel and append the /um
to the end of the command line.
For those special servers that I need to run batch files
prior to the backup and after, I copy the command line
then delete the scheduled backup. Then open notepad and
paste in the command line, with the /um appended. Then add
the other commands that I need to run before and after the
backup. Then save the batch file and use scheduled task to
schedule it.
This article explains all of the ntbackup switches.
