Due to the tightness of by boss I have been given a Server with a 2 Gig dat tape device, python 06408-XXX Scsi the tape device doesn't support formatting, but will erase data. The backup software is NTBackup. I need to erase every tape before use so was wondering if it is possible to run a scheduled batch cmd to do this before the backup starts. The device is not assigned a drive letter.

Help much obliged .........
