Hi Lanwench,
I'm currently running 2003 server. The links you sent
me apply to Windows 2000. Would the same apply to 2003 ?
This is the batch file I use:
@echo off
rsm.exe refresh /LF"Seagate STT3401A"
timeout /t 30 /nobreak
for /f "Tokens=1-4 Delims=/ " %%i in ('date /t') do set
dt=%%i-%%j-%%k-%%l
for /f "Tokens=1" %%i in ('time /t') do set tm=-%%i
set tm=%tm::=-%
set dtt=%dt%%tm%
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntbackup.exe backup "@C:\Documents
and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Windows
NT\NTBackup\data\backup.bks" /n "Media Created %
dtt%" /d "Set Created %dtt%" /v:no /r:no /rs:no /hc:on /m
normal /j "Eagle" /l:s /p "miniQIC" /UM
rsm.exe eject /PF"Media Created %dtt% - 1" /astart
exit

What server OS and service pack?
See http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-

In SP4, you get the option to run
rsm inventory ...
which will take care of this problem in 99% of the cases
I've seen. Please
write back if this doesn't correct the problem or if I've
misunderstood
it....

Hello,
I wrote up this backup batch file that runs every
night to back up my server. The preceding steps before
running NTBACKUP labels the tape with the time and date
that the backup is run and to use any tape whether its
blank or not and then eject it when done. This works most
of the time, however occasionally it fails with the
following message:
Backup Status
The operation was not performed because no storage
media was specified.
The tape is in place when this happens and the batch file
hasn't been changed in months and this is the only
comment in the backup log.
Has anyone had any similar experiences and subsuquent
resolutions ?
Thanks
Tony
