I tried using the tip listed in this thread, it didn't work. I must be doing something wrong.

This is what I'd like to accomplish:

Run NT Backup after close of business at 2am Saturday morning.

Run NT Backup on the same tape (append) after close of business at 11pm Saturday night.

I set up two batch jobs with the parameters listed in the thread (modified for my use of course), but like I said in the opening statement, it didn't work.

Here is what I used:

Saturday 2am:
c:
cd\
cd \batches

for /f "Tokens=1-4 Delims=/ " %%i in ('date /t') do set dt=%%i-%%j-%%k-%%l
for /f "Tokens=1" %%i in ('time /t') do set tm=-%%i
set tm=%tm::=-%
set dtt=%dt%%tm%

c:\windows\system32\ntbackup.exe backup "@c:\batches\ntbackup\FullBack.bks" /J "Gimli-Saturday" /N "Backup Tape-%dtt%" /M normal /V:yes /L:s /HCn /UM /p "LTO Ultrium"

Saturday 11pm:
c:
cd\
cd \batches


c:\windows\system32\ntbackup.exe backup "@c:\batches\ntbackup\FullBack.bks" /J "Gimli-Sunday" /T "Backup Tape-%dtt%" /A /V:yes /M normal /L:s /HCn




rsm eject /LF"IBM ULTRIUM-HH3 TAPE DRIVE"



exit

did not work" is pretty vague. What exactly, if anything, did happen. Any entries in the Windows even viewer? Anything backed up at all??
