I am having some trouble with NTBackup since moving a server.
It runs Win2K Server.
We run a normal backup once a week, & differential backups every other day.
These backups are first written to a spare disk, & then written to tape.
The backups always work when backing up to the disk, but rarely work when
backing up to tape.
The backups are scheduled jobs. If they are executed interactively they seem
to work. When they execute as scheduled jobs they just show as 'running' &
stay like this forever.
I have two tapes, a 'DailyDifferential' tape, & a 'FullWeekly' tape. The
'FullWeekly' tape seems more prone to problems, but they are both far from
perfect.
I have tried replacing the tapes, this made no difference.
I have checked out the application & system event logs; nothing unexpected
is logged.
Any further suggestions???
