I am trying to setup run a backup job from a remote computer using the BEMCMD.
I am using the command: 

bemcmd -o90 -v -w -c"server_name" -n"username" -p"passord" -f"D:\Programs\BackupExec\ThisScript.txt"

this is the return from the BEMCMD:
---------------------------
Backup Exec Command Line Applet version 10.0.5520.
Copyright (c) 2005 Symantec Corporation.  All rights reserved.

Connecting to media server '\\SCATS01'...
Connected.
Reading script file...

Getting user's default logon account...
Success.
Inserting script...
ERROR performing operation: '-536837669'.
Disconnecting from server...
Disconnected.
RETURN VALUE: -1
---------------------------

What the heck is error -536837669'??

I would really appreciate any help in the matter...

Hi,

 

I've just posted about another obscure error code from bemcmd.

 

Not sure if it will help you, but there's a discussion last year with the same error code that you are seeing.
