Hi everyone,
I'm using Windows 2000 Server SP4. I'm trying to create a simple batch
script (a CMD file) to launch NTBACKUP on demand (I don't need scheduling)
I'm following the instructions given here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/239892/EN-US
But there's a problem that I can't evade: The backup job spans 3 tapes. And
I have bought only 3 tapes.
The article says that I shouldn't use the /UM switch, so I'm using the
managed method.
The problem is that I have prepared and labeled the three tapes as
instructed by the article and now all of them have the same name: "My-Tape"
Therefore, NTBACKUP refuses to run, and complains in the log that the tape
label names aren't unique!
What can I do? Is it impossible to create a batch script to run backups
that span multiple tapes? Or is there any solution?
PS: The batch script I'm using consists only of these three lines:
rsm.exe refresh /LF"HP C1537A SCSI Sequential Device"
sleep 30
ntbackup.exe backup "@c:\job\list.bks" /n "My-Tape" /v:no /r:no /rs:no
/hc:on /m normal /j "My Backup Job" /l:s /t "My-Tape"
Thank you very much.
