If you have a chance, could you try changing it back to the original text 
and report the error message and line number that Windows reports on the 
script? Thanks!

Yes, exactly. The reason is probably that two different locations have the 
same file ID. I guess you're not using NTFS junction points, are you? 
Please could you tell me what "dir c:\" and "dir d:\" report as the Volume 
Serial Number for both volumes?

Also, please could you try running bbackupd with the following 
configuration options:

  LogFile = c:\bbackupd.log
  LogFileLevel = debug

and send me the log file that it produces?

Cheers, Chris.
