ntbackup backup G: /t incremental /b /hcn /v /d "Compressed Incremental backup drive g:" /l "c:\log\backup.log"
ntbackup backup E: /t Incremental /b /hcn /v /d "Compressed Incremental backup drive e:" /l "c:\log\backup.log"

ntbackup backup j: /t Incremental /b /hcn /v /d "Compressed Incremental backup drive j:" /l "c:\log\backup.log"
ntbackup eject

Hi ayyahma,

this can't work the way you want it because you forgot to use the switch append (/a) on all but the third backup job.
Without this switch ntbackup is forced to overwrite your previously backup data on the tape. The log isn't wrong as ntbackup did it's job...

You might use your (modified) script like that:

ntbackup backup G: /t incremental /b /hcn /v /d "Compressed Incremental backup drive g:" /l "c:\log\backup.log"
ntbackup backup E: /t Incremental /b /hcn /a /v /d "Compressed Incremental backup drive e:" /l "c:\log\backup.log"
ntbackup backup DS \\poalkw01 IS \\poalkw01 /a /t normal /hcn /v /d "Compressed normal backup Exchange" /l "c:\log\backup.log"
ntbackup backup j: /t Incremental /b /hcn /a /v /d "Compressed Incremental backup drive j:" /l "c:\log\backup.log"
ntbackup eject

ayyahma,

I've already modified your script in my first reply (just added /a at command line 2 and 4). You might copy and paste the complete script from my first answer.
