I am trying to add an NTBackup statement to the Client Run Before Job 
for the systemstate backup. The statement I'm using is:

Client Run Before Job = "ntbackup backup systemstate /j SystemState /m 
normal /f C:\\SystemState.bkf /v:yes"

I have two problems with it:

- It doesn't work. NTbackup starts, but then terminates. The 
Systemstate.bkf file does get created, but is only 2kb in size. When I 
use the exact same command on the command line, NTBackup works without a 
problem and creates a backup > 600Mb, which is about expected.

I have a suspicion that in part it may be a timing issue. The 
systemstate backup from the command line takes about 45 minutes - is 
there a timeout for the Client Run Before Job that might kill the backup 
prematurely?

- Is there a way to only run this script before a full backup, but not 
before an incremental backup?

Thanks!
