Run hobocopy against remote machine

[john kelly]

Hi

I would like to back up some of the users data to their mapped network drive using hobocopy

Presently hobocopy crashes

I can establish a command line session to the remote system

I understand the vss service must be running on the destination machine, I would prob need to start that service using the command line against this machine

I thinking I connect to the remote machine with my admin creds, run hobocopy c:\source \\srever\users-home-directory *.*

Has any one done this with hobocopy? scripting file backup to a unc path would be what I expect from hobocopy but so far no dice

Anyone have an example for me

Thanks for reading

It's not totally clear to me what you're trying to do, but I will say
that it is not possible to use HoboCopy to back up data *from* a
remote machine to anywhere else. It's perfectly possible to back up
local data to a remote destination, however. In neither case does VSS
need to be running on the remote machine.

If you're trying to run hobocopy on the remote machine via some sort
of remote execution mechanism (which, on re-reading your message, I
think you are), then I'm guessing you're running into a permission
problem. Windows security is a massive pain in the anatomy, and you're
probably in some weird context. Can you do things like "dir
\\server\users-home-directory" in the remote command line?
