i've managed to solved it. it seemed that the date format for the local-account is in the form dd/mm/yyyy. '/' is disallowed in windows' naming convention. subsequently, i logged in using the local-account and changed the date format to dd-mm-yyyy' and that solves all the problem! thanks everyone for helping out.

as i mentioned earlier, only one of the 2 servers involved is in the domain, the other is not. if i right click on the scheduled task and run, it doesnt run at all. i've specifically created 2 identical local admin accounts for this purpose, one on each server. both accounts have the idential username and passwords. i've also set the appropriate permissions on the folders involved such that these 2accounts can perform the necessary actions. did i miss out anything?

i've got another problem now. while i've no issues manually activating the script to do the backup, i cant possibly be clicking it everyday. i thus added this to the scheduled task. however, it doesnt activate at the preset time. i've configured the task to run as the username which is common on both terminals and given admin-rights. anyone can advice?

hi, i've gotten the following files in my file-server which caused problems during the nightly backups : 1. C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Network Associates\BOPDATA\_Date-20070505_Time-110755987_EnterceptExceptions.dat 2. C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Network Associates\BOPDATA\_Date-20070505_Time-110755987_EnterceptRules.dat the error message goes "..... could not be opened and was not backed up. (The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.)" Anyone has any clue how to resolve this issue? And, what does "... EnterceptExceptions.dat" and "EnterceptRules.dat" does? thanks!!

well, the diff date formats is due to the regional settings on your machines.

thanks!! i tried this method and it works exactly the way i wanted!

I currently have a batch file that does backup of some folders and piping the output to a file called BackupLog.txt. This file gets overwritten each time the backup task runs. I would like to append the date to this filename such that there will be a new output file each day. eg. BackupLog08052007.txt Anyone can help me with the syntax? I currently have >> "D:\BackupLog.txt" Thanks!!

i would like to backup a folder on an application server to a file server on a nightly basis. the application server is not in the domain while the file server is. when i use xcopy (via batch file) for the job, i get 'sharing violation' error. when i try to add this as a scheduled task on the application server and runas using a domain-user's account, it returns as error that says "unable to verify account credentials" or such. anyone can help me with this? thanks.

Hi there, I would like to know which version of Visio (other than VisioXP) supports EPS (encapsulated post-script file) as a "Save As" file format? Another thing, are there any add-ons for Visio 2003 or 2007 that makes it supportive of EPS?? Thanks in advance for your help! cheers, Galantico
