I want to run some backups of other machines on the network, and have them backup to my machine which has the tape drive and the backup software.

We use something called NovaBackup for backups.

So, first we backup all data on the server, that's pretty easy, just backup the C and D drives.
Then, we want to backup files on //RAT/C:
Then we want to backup files on //BIGRAT/C:

The problem becomes that if I leave the machine logged in as Admin, the backup goes fine (because the drive mappings stay intact). As soon as I log out (with RDP), apparently the drive mappings go away and my backups fail.

Can someone help?? Any ideas??

Not familiar with Nova Backup - I took a quick look at the web site and seems ok... not spectacular, but ok. Consult the manual. Backup software should be able to access network shares with easy - you want to backup \\rat\c$ and \\bigrat\c$ - that should do it.

As an alternative, you can create NTBackup jobs and have them backup to a file on the server with NovaBackup - then you backup the BKF files and you're done.
