script to check IP address and pipe to ms bakcup

[UnaBomber]

hey,

I am wondering if anyone can help.

I am wanting to create a script (cmd or bat) that checks the default gateway of a PC on logon, if this is equal to a defined variable (lets say 10.100.1.1) MS backup will open and perform a predefined backup job.

the reason why I am asking is to backup Laptops data to a LOCAL NAS device, only when the laptop is in its "home" subnet!

Any help or pointer in the right direction would be a big help

Why not check for the existence of the NAS device?

if exist h:\nul goto do_backup
goto end

:do_backup

...etc..

:end

The laptops dont ness. have drives mouted to the NAS. also we map drives via IP so if they are mounted they will always be mounted to the NAS regardless of physical location. Basically The only variable I can think of to start the backup job when the NAS is LOCAL would be to check the default gateway or network address.

thanks anyway
