Howto list tape contents from the commandline

Hello world,

I use ntbackup in a script to backup my system.

I want to add a command to show what is on the tape, before the tape is overwritten.

ntbackup /? only shows backup operations, I cannot restore from the command line.

How can I check if the tape operator inserted the correct tape, to be overwritten?

regards,

I don't ntbackup gives this utility.

You have to use a different backup program for this.

Hi Vibhor,

Thanks for your reply. That means I have to install Arcserve, that I have available.

Thanks.

Solution: I cannot use NTBACKUP.EXE for this. I have to use other software, which can do this. Thanks for your support.
