Hey everyone,
I'm trying to setup backups in my environment differently. right now, we backup using a maintenance plan to a direcetory on the SQL server and then Veritas connects via a remote agent to the server and backs up that directory. I'm trying to setup a batch file to copy those files to a file server. This would enable us to not have to have Veritas connect to multiple servers just to back up certain files.

Problem is, I made a batch file, which works perfectly when I run it from a command prompt, but not once I put it in scheduled tasks on Server 2003. I have it running as a domain user which has access to the remote folder and I even gave it access to the local pc. It is a member of the log on as batch file security policy, but the only way it runs is if I put the user in the local admins group.

Is anyone else doing something similar to this? If so, how did you fix it? Thanks.
