Following your instructions and using cut & paste and then changing [start
backup –backuptarget
: -include:E:,F: -quiet] to [start backup
–backuptarget:C: -include:E:,F: -quiet]. When I hit OK I get an error message
[One or more of the specified arguments are not valid]. I even tried
removing and adding [space]s between the [-]s. Is it a syntax problem or I'm
I doing something wrong?
In the Create Task - Actions Tab it says under Action [Start a progrqam] and
under Details [wbadmin start backup –backuptarget:C: -include:E:,F: -quiet]
and then I hit OK and get error message.
