Windows 2000 Server. I have scheduled 4mm tape backups to
happen each day using Windows Backup. My problem is that
the tape being used normally has data on it already and I
just wish to overwrite. However, when the backup job
kicks off it immediately bombs and puts a message in the
log:
The operation was not performed because no unused media
was available.
How do I tell Windows Backup to write over the data on the
tape? Obviously I need this to happen without a prompt as
the job is running during off hours. When I do the backup
manually I get a couple of prompts about overwriting the
tape, I answer "Yes" and the job completes. Thanks for
the help.
