If you create a job within Enhanced Windows Backup and it seems to start and stop almost immediately when you run it, then there is probably a syntax error in the information being passed from Enhanced Windows Backup to NTbackup.

One problem we have observed with early versions (<= 1.1.1003) is that it is possible to create a job with certain disallowed characters in the name e.g. '&'. This means that the job name is invalid to ntbackup and the job fails.

To correct this problem, delete the job and re-create it with a name that just uses alpha-numeric characters.
