Subject: Overwriting tapes - was: RE: NTBACKUP/multi-tape
I've got a related question:
I've got a remote client that I do some light contract work for on occasion.
I've set up a batch file, and done everything else I can think of to work
around the following:
The capacity of the tape is sufficient to do a full backup on one tape, but
the client is sometimes forgetful, and doesn't change the tape. I'd like to
be able to have the backup simply overwrite whatever tape is in the drive,
and not worry about it, on the theory that they'll remember most times, but
that it's better to have a current backup always, and to heck with the
backup from two nights ago if I've got one from last night.
Nothing seems to work. Any hints?

In case any of you run across this, the solution is to prepare each tape
using RSM.

I'm running NTBACKUP as a scheduled task. Since I have more data than can
fit on one tape, once that tape is full, the backup pauses and an
administrative alert pop-up is sent to the console. When I insert the second
tape, the backup does not continue writing. Are any of you successfully
writing to multiple tapes from a scheduled ntbackup job?
