<br />
wbadmin start backup -backupTarget:\\server\bac<wbr />kup$ -include: c: -allCritical

thannks but from what I understand from the article this will backup critical volumes but not the system state, u can only backup system state to a local non-critical volume, you can not backup to a remote location. <br />
surely this is a step backwards for 2008?<br />
maybe there is some nice 3rd party software (not crazy expensive) that allows all backup to a remote location - know of anything?<br />
