I am trying to use the built in program to run scheduled backups.
I am trying to use a bat file to make the backup run and backup
directly to the dds 4 tape drive. I have seen the page on
smallbizserver.net on backing up the server. But I can't create a
backup file on the server as there is not enough room so I would
like to change the bat file to backup directly to the dat drive.
Has anyone done this? If so can I get a sample bat or point me
where I can get this to work.
TIA

Here's what I use...and as usual, MANY thanks to the kindly fellow
I cribbed it from. You'll need to make lots of changes to suit your
environment - your tape library, media type, etc.... Save your
NTBackup job settings as a .bks file and reference it in the batch
file - it will also let you e-mail a copy of the logs if you
install BLAT (google it - freeware). Mind word wrap@
