The shortcut created for Scheduled Tasks by the GUI Backup interface contains
this command line:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntbackup.exe backup
"@C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\
Application Data\Microsoft\Windows NT\NTBackup\
data\PT and SYS State.bks"
/n "Media created 3/4/2004 at 3:30 PM"
/d "Set created 3/4/2004 at 3:33 PM"
/v:yes
/r:yes
/rs:no
/hc:on
/m normal
/j "PT and SYS State"
/l:s
/p "miniQIC"
I want to back up as a scheduled item to whatever tape is in the drive with
no user intervention, freeing up tapes, catalog maintenance, etc.
If I initiate this backup from within the GUI Backup interface, it prompts
me with:
"There is no free media available with the selected type, but the following
media was found: "Media created 3/22..." Do you want to use this media now?
Warning: The media appears to contain a valid backup. It will be erased if
you use this media."
