How to format the file such that all six fields are in one line. Then next block in second line like wise......<BR /><BR />SessionID:sessiontype:Status <BR /><BR />The basic idea is to find the last succesfull full backup and change the protection. If the last backup was not succesful then re run the backup.<BR /><BR />Thanks in advance.
