James,

As to your questions...

No, it doesn't prompt me for a password when I run the manuall command line
incremental backup.
Yes, every night on the same servers.
All servers are at SP3A. I am not moving to SP4 as I will be upgrading to
NW5.1 soon.

Yes, I tried deleting and recreating the pwd files with exactly the same
issue.
Yes, I have NWPWFILE YES, but I also have PASSWORDACCESS GENERATE. This is
the same on all servers.

No, I am not using the NWUSER option.

I was also thinking about using the Netware scheduler instead, but this
defeats the whole idea of the ADSM scheduler which was working fine, and
still works fine on some servers.

Thanks for the assist.

Mike
