The whole back bone of security is your ability to back up important files,
etc.. before you need to. But if the ntbackup utility does not work, then
what is the point of using it... It should be an embarrassment to someone at
MS.

It worked flawlessly for the dozen or so times I have used it over the last
year. Now, it suddenly stopped working. I tap on the shortcut icon and it
just sits there...sputters and fizzles a bit...then goes silent.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled it about 10 times, with a registry clean
out between each install. I have loaded it fresh from the i386 folder on my
hard drive and the install CD.

I have done a sfc /scannow cmd a few times to see if that might be the
problem.

I have snooped around the Administrative tool services for some clue...to
see if there was the "usual" box with or without a tick mark, where there
wasn't or was one before...no clues.

I have gone down the list of services to see which have been arbitrarily
enabled or disabled...

Nothing has worked...and now I have a pile of previously saved files, I can
no longer use and must delete to save space...

Why must we go begging on these fora when perfectly good, well paid, MS
technicians should be able to solve the problem and post a solution in the
usual place! We are constantly paying to clean up after someone else's
issue...

Maybe you changed the password of the "log on as" account for ntbackup.

Nope, in all the years of computer use, I have had one account! ...aside
from the general admin account... This is just another bug, like the failure
to hold folder settings from one session to another... Microshaft
lives...bummer...;(
