I am trying to run ntbackup from the command line, to eventually run in a
script. I am doing this from a windows 2000 server. The following is my
syntax -
ntbackup backup "@C:\Selections\test.bks" /j "Test" /m normal /UM /P
"backup"
From using the GUI (ntbackup.exe) ineractively I have realized the
following. I must first make make my selections and then it's a simple as
just telling it to start the backup, but at some point it asks about the
media - telling me that a blank media is not available but that I can choose
to overwrite the media currently in the drive. By the syntax example above
I can clearly see how to specify a selection list and I understand some of
the switces but what I can't figure out is how to tell ntbackup "overwrite
whatever is in the tape drive - no exceptions, ever". The ideal for me
would be to accomplish the creation of a script that runs ntbackup monday
thru friday, does a full backup of selected directories, names the tape
whatever - doesn't matter, and overwrites whatever tape I feed it without
exception. Any help would be appreciated.
