Wacky Backup

[Guest Anteaus]

I'm beginning to wonder just what this 2003 R2 server has been smoking?

Backup using NTBackup applet, batch (top left) file clearly defines tape

name, yet the program requests last Friday's tape to be inserted instead of

the one stated.

 

What's even stranger is that if the job is cancelled then manually

relaunched via the exact-same batch file, second time around it runs

normally.

 

I guess one answer would be Backup Exec, but for small sites it's a tad

costly.
