Windows 2000 NTBACKUP

[Mike B.]

I'm running a batch file in task scheduler to backup
some files on my windows 2000 server. It seems to work,
but I'm unable to locate the log files to check. Can
these summary logs be directed to a specific area of my
choosing? Also how can I automatically eject the tape
after completion of the backup? Are there any documents
that can give me more guidance on how to use the ntbackup
for windows 2000? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
