2008 server job scheduler to run robocopy

FRED SHIKE posted at Thursday, April 23, 2009 3:56 PM

Trying to schedule a job using the job scheduler on a microsoft 2008 server. Below is the command I am trying to run. It works manually on the command prompt but will not work in the job scheduler. Drive z: is a mapped drive on the backup server, the actual drive letter is d:. I am trying to backup a shared drive on the main server to a shared drive on the backup server every nightly.

robocopy d:\shared\sus\ z:\\valley2\sqlbackups /copyall
