Thanks Andy for you reply.

I do understand on the RC 4.
How can I change this Failed RC 4 to Completed since it is hard to convince
management on the backup since it shows failed.

See chapter 7 "Automating tasks" in the client manual, section "Client
return codes" for the answer to your question about why RC 4 shows as
failed.

The books can be found online by going to the URL in my sig (I recommend
bookmarking this), and clicking the "Information center" link.

Best regards,

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
