Re: Failure modes of various automated uses of ntbackup

Yes, I know it isn't really reasonable to expect the largest software
company in the world with control of the most operating system
installations to provide a program that fulfills the backup needs of
most its customer base.

I was just having a bit of fun.

I don't know about/haven't thought of.
And what exactly is your question?

What is the aforementioned 'way'?

Use a different backup program that can do what you want. NTBackup was
designed many, many years ago to work with Windows NT and tape backups. It
doesn't have the capabilities you want.
