rsm

[Guest Jeremy Schubert]

I found a great backup script at

http://www.infoshop.co.uk/products/infoshop/scripts/bn-backup.htm. I have

to hard code the GUID for each tape, no problem there. But another web

article I was reading said that sometimes just the tape GUID was not enough.

But a logical GUID maybe required. If I format the tape myself using RSM,

then is there usually only one partition (unless I set the format

differently) so I only really need the tape GUID and not the logical GUID?

Thanks,

Hi Jeremy,

 

The GUID used by the script is the drive GUID not the individual tapes. If

you just prep the tapes by using the computer management console \ removable

storage GUI, selecting prepare (W2000) or 'freee' (w2003) they will be

available for use. The script will use any prepped tape it finds in the drive.

Also a later version of the script is available at the same link, this

later version has a few extra controls including switching emailing on or off.

 

Regards,

David Hewison
