rsm

[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,

RE: rsm

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
