Have just tried both of these and no difference.

However, this may have lead us to the problem... we did not mention
but we are trying to run the (services API) backup from a Win2K
machine and the database itself is on an Intel Mac. The Mac is running
Classic server.
We've tested this by pointing the backup to another Windows machine
(running Super server) and the backup worked fine.

We haven't seen anything to say that the services manager is not
available in the Classic server - is this what the problem is?

Thanks
