I have a server which has two tape drives attached to it. One is a 40GB DLT
and the other is a 160GB SDLT.
This server is an AD controller & Exchange server, and so what I want to do
is the following;
1. Backup AD (SystemState) and Exchange to the 40GB DLT
2. Backup a whole load of mapped network drives to the 160GB SDLT
I can accomplish this by creating two scheduled tasks that call specific
batch files at different times. These batch files contain commands along
the lines of;
ntbackup backup @c:\settings.bks /p "DLT" /um
My problem is that I don't know how to tell NTbackup to use the 40GB tape
drive for the first backup job (AD & Exchange), and the 160GB tape drive
for the second backup job (all those network shares).
As you can see, I'm aware of the /p switch, but RSM has put both my DLT and
my SDLT tape drives into one pool called "DLT" so I can't use that switch.
Is there a way to tell NTbackup to use a specific *tape drive* as opposed
to a specific *pool*?
Thanks,
Richard.
