Vista - How to make full drive C: backup using auto schedule with Ultimate

I just checked my master document on this--looks like Word changed the
hyphens to endashes. Check your syntax again :-)

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.
