Hi Bart,
You can try to define the USERPROFILE variable with the help of the
"nsrsapsv.cfg" file.
If within this file you specify USERPROFILE=AnyUserPATHYouKnowExists
like USERPROFILE=C:\Documents and Settings\S01ADM.
This assumes you are running your backups with the Networker scheduled
facility that utilizes the *.cfg configuration file.
If you are running your backup from an "at" command or a "cron" like
environment you could place your brbackup/brarchive command in a batch
file that will preset all needed environment variables.
HTH,
        Itzik

Subject: [Networker] SAP backint backups on Windows 2000 failing to
write logfile to ...%USERPROFILE%...

backint.exe, or in the way it is called.  As the BACKINT.EXE is provided
by legato, we suppose that it is up to Legato to tell us how me must
resolve this problem.  Although Legato claims (despite our Premium
support contract) that this is an SAP problem.  After 1 month of
discussions, they even seem to have no SAP/Win2000/Networker
configuration available to test these things out.
