I was wondering if you could fill me in on one part though: What is the significance of the string 's05010086' in the switches for the blackberrybackup.exe?

Shouldn't you be using -6 rather than 6 if you want to find files greater than 6 days old? I also found that I couldn't use /C "del @file" I had to use /C "cmd /c del @file" I'm running the script on Windows 2003 in case that makes a difference!
