Ejecting tapes in 2003 using NTbackup? 1

[Robmonster]

Morning all,

On my old NT4 box you couls use the command "ntbackup /eject" at the end of a batch file to automatically eject the tape.

There doesnt seem to be that functionality in the version that ships with Windows 2003. Am I missing something amazingly simple..?

The tape drive in Win2000 and Win2003 is controlled by the Removable Storage Manager (rsm.exe) because of the wide spread use of autoloading-mulitple-tape drives (HAH!) Your command now looks like "rsm.exe eject /pf"backup name" /astart
