proliant 1600 with stand alone 4mm dds tape. nt backup runs perfectly in attended mode, but all scheduled backups fail!.I want to backup to 5 tapes mon- friday and have scheduled a backup for each day using the correctly prepared tape assigned to the 4mm dds pool. Does anyone know how to schedule backups all help greatly appreciated

When you say it fails, what exactly do you mean? does it give you a particular error message?

I have struggled with scheduled backups using NTBackup and now use an unmanaged system which uses a scheduled cmd file. This has been working fine.

Try looking at the attached file. I am using Travan and 4mm tapes with this system.

sorry for the delay in replying.
the scheduled backup does not start at all so therefore no backup. i have installed win2k sp3 in the hope that it contained a fix but this was to no avail.I would lke to continue using nt backup if at all possible.Thank you again for your assistance

I din't say in my previous reply that it was the .cmd file I scheduled directly in the schedueled Tasks not backup.

Please forgive my ignorance I am a networking novice, but just how exactly do you go about setting up the command file.Do you have to type it in dos mode from the C: prompt
