I am using a Compaq 8mm AIT 50 GB tape drive.
Below is the commandline parameters of the backup job which is scheduled.
C:\WINNT\system32\NTBACKUP.EXE backup “@C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows NT\NTBackup\data\FS01 PERIOD13.bks” /n “FS01 PERIOD13” /d “FS01 PERIOD13” /v:yes /r:no /rs:no /hc:on /m normal /j “FS01 PERIOD13” /l:s /t “FS01 PERIOD13”
As per my understanding the above Job runs only if the tape in named as “FS01 PERIOD13”.
Say if i am using a new tape, then i will give the below command to make the initial backup to run fine.
C:\WINNT\system32\NTBACKUP.EXE backup “@C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows NT\NTBackup\data\FS01 PERIOD13.bks” /n “FS01 PERIOD13” /d “FS01 PERIOD13” /v:yes /r:no /rs:no /hc:on /m normal /j “FS01 PERIOD13” /l:s /P “8mm AIT1” /UM
The above command runs fine and i get a 0x0 result on the Schedule task. However if i run the 1st commandline job on the same tape this fails with an error 0xe001 in the scheduled tasks and the NTbackup logstates the below:
“Backup Status
The operation was not performed because a non-unique tape name was specified.”
Kindly advice me in fixing the issue as i have many jobs configured in the similar manner and needs a fix.
