hyphens to endashes. Check your syntax again :-) -- This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. Want to learn more about Windows file and storage technologies?

I went back and tried [start backup -allcritical -backuptarget:G: -quiet]
changing all dashes to hyphens (first 2 were wrong) (it's key between 0 and =?) and removed the extra space in -allcritical. I also tried quite instead of quiet (is it supposed to be quiet?) but all the same. Can't find wbadmin in Help and get [0 results for wbadmin] in Help. Also how else would you do a full backup besides another USB or extra HD? Call me all confused now.

Try starting an elevated command prompt (run as Adminstrator) to play around
with wbadmin. Wbadmin has built-in help, so if you type "wbadmin" you'll get a list of syntax you can use. I just tried using the syntax (minus quotes): "start backup -allcritical -backuptarget:V: -quiet" and this started to work but then stopped because my V is a critical volume (I was just guessing a volume to use). Could this be the error you're hitting? When I substitute N, it works. My backup is running right now. The -quiet parameter is necessary because otherwise you are prompted to confirm your backup. -- This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
