I created a backup job and made all the selections and saved the .bks file as
C:\Backup\Daily.bks. Then I made a batch file as follows:
echo off
rsm.exe refresh /LF"Quantum DLT4000 SCSI Sequential Device"
sleep 30
for /f "Tokens=1-4 Delims=/ " %%i in ('date /t') do set dt=%%i-%%j-%%k-%%l
for /f "Tokens=1" %%i in ('time /t') do set tm=-%%i
set tm=%tm::=-%
set dtt=%dt%%tm%
c:\winnt\system32\ntbackup.exe backup "@C:\Backup\Daily.bks" /n
"%computername%-%dtt%" /d "daily %dtt%" /v:yes /r:no /rs:no /hc:on /m normal /j
"daily %dtt%" /l:s /p "DLT" /UM
rsm.exe eject /PF"%computername%-%dtt% - 1" /astart
exit
that will app probably wrap around and become a mess but you get the idea.
I then scheduled a job to run that cmd file every night. All you have to do is
put a tape in the drive. No messing with RSM required.
If you install the exchange tools on the server doing backup you will get
exchange backup ability. For SQL Server, I have a job there that backs up the
databases to disk. Those backups then get copied to the tape when it runs.
We have been running this way for over a year.

doing it?

Assunto: [windows2000] Re: Backup Software
I use the built in NT backup for everything and have no issues with it. We
back up all files, an Exchange 2k server, and our SQL Server with it.
No need to spend the money on something else if you can get it done with
what you have.
All it takes is a little scripting and the scheduler to make it automated.

Looking at upgrading backup software and was wondering if Veritas is the way
to go. Currently using an older version of Arcserve...any recommendations,
comments?
