Ntbackup multivolume(chain of tapes)

[Guest]

I've windows 2003 Standard Edition.
The amount of my backup data (40GB) exceeds the capacity of my tape system
(24GB) . How it would be possible to do a ntbackup enchaining a tape of 24GB
after another tape of 24GB ? If i schedule the backup by night how can i
avoid that the ntbackup aborts when the first tape is finished until i change
the finished tape in the morning?
Many thanks in advance.
