Backup 5.0

[crazychicken]

I have a Powervault 725N. I am running Microsoft Backup 5.0 on 5 tapes per week (one tape per day).

I am confused as to how to do the scheduling.

right now it is using this string:

C:\WINNT\system32\NTBACKUP.EXE backup "@C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows NT\NTBackup\data\Daily.bks" /v:no /r:no /rs:no /hcn /m normal /l:s /p "DLT" /um

I wanted to look to see if the data was actually on the tape, so i went to restore, and there were about 5 things listed like:

Set created 12/13/2004 at 4:00 PM
Media created 12/13/2004 at 4:00 PM

but with dates from a long time ago. Are these the names of the tapes? Can i name them "Monday", "Tuesday", etc.? If so, how do i do that?



haha after that very confusing paragraph, i guess my only question is if i can name the tapes according to the day that they are used to backup.

any input would be great.

thanks alot

I don't exactly remember what all ofhte options do but here is a backup I setup for a customer a while back.

C:\WINNT\system32\NTBACKUP.EXE backup "@C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows NT\NTBackup\data\HBS Daily Backup.bks" /n "HBS Friday Backup" /d "HBS Friday Backup" /v:yes /r:no /rs:no /hcn /m normal /j "HBS Friday Backup" /l:s /p "4mm DDS" /um

Hopefully that helps.
