Thanks for the info, Kerry. Here is the command line for the backup I
created, what would ba an appropriate switch to force it to do a backup every
time over? Any Ideas are appreciated: C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntbackup.exe
backup "@C:\Documents and Settings\User\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Windows NT\NTBackup\data\ALTADAILY.bks" /n "ALTA FOLDER
BACKUP" /d "ALTA FOLDER BACKUP" /n "ALTA FOLDER BACKUP" /v:yes /r:no /rs:no
/hc
n /m copy /j "altadaily" /l:f /p "4mm DDS"
Again, any switch you could provide here would be greatly appreciated. By
the way, if I mark the tape as free (formatted), and then start the scheduled
job again, it does the same thing. Backs up fine the first time, then the
next times I try it just blips on with the mounting volume deal and then goes
away. Thanks again.
