backup question

[chrissy]

I am a student. I am trying to run a backup on 2000
Advanced server. I want to overwrite a magnetic tape each
night, but ntbackup is requiring someone manually confirm
the overwrite wanted. Where can I tell the backup to
overwrite the tape without a manual confirmation.
Thank you!

Chrissy, please add the '/um' switch to the end of the command you are
executing. This will force the media to be freed before ntbackup writes to
it.
