I want to be able to give one of my elderly clients a simple one-button
backup icon using NTBackup.
He is backing up to tape. I want him to rotate through several tapes before
returning to the first.
I am using a shortcut with command line:
ntbackup backup "@C:\Backup Jobs\Selective.bks" /j "Selective Backup Job" /t
"Selective BU" /n "Selective BU"
If the tapes have different names (eg "Selective BU 1", "Selective BU2")
NTBackup sits there waiting for a specific tape to be mounted. I want all
the tapes to be used interchangeable. If I name all of the tapes with the
same name I get a message when running my shortcut that multiple tapes have
the same name.
How can I get around this? I do not run into this problem when backing up to
a second hard drive. I only have it when backing up to (named) tapes.
I have used MS KB as reference http://support.microsoft.com/kb/814583.
Thanks
