Hi

Is there a way to setup ntbackup to, create backups for a period of 30
days,
without overwriting the previous days backups, without using a tape drive?

is it just a matter of setting up 30 schedules, or is there an easier way
of
doing this?

Thx

You said you don't want to use a tape but you did not say
what you wanted to use. A hard disk?

If so then the task is easy. Create a single backup job, then
copy the command line from the Task Scheduler into a batch
file. Now replace the target file name with a variable name
such as DD-MM-YYYY.bkf. Lastly you create a scheduled
task that runs every day and that invokes the batch file you
have just created. Nice'n'easy!
