hi gurus, how do i put file names for tape backup. let's say i had 5 tapes, i label Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Then on windows server backup i want also the labels as file names, so i put the tape Monday, i will also select on the windows backup Monday. How do i put file names on windows backup? Thanks for any input. Every second counts..make use of it.

If you are using windows builtin backup solution, you are using ntbackup ;) This could be tricky to manage tapes with names in ntbackup. I had this problem few years before. I will search through my documentation today and let you know how I reslolve this problem.Best regards Dubravko Marak MCP Blog: Windows Server Administration Please remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.
