I have made no changes after running the SPSbackup script
This is really frusturating...... I tried the script on another server
as well... and the same thing happened......

My Script: (running in BAT file)

@echo off
echo ===============================
echo backup  sites on the SharePoint Portal 2003 Server
echo ===============================
E:
cd \Program Files\SharePoint Portal Server\Bin
@echo off
SPSBACKUP.EXE /all /portal http://myserver:8085 C:\SPS_BACKUP\MYBackup
echo completed


The directory C:\SPS_BACKUP\MYBackup is already inplace before running
the script.
