Why are backups so complicated?

by ma . Updated 23 years, 11 months ago

All I want to do is back up the hard drives to tape every night rotating 5 tapes each week. I don’t care about volume labels, backup set names, or anything except being able to get the information onto the tapes and then be able, if the drives crash, to restore from the last backup tape. Does anyone know of a simple-to-use program for W2K Server that will do this?
If there’s a way to set up NTBackup to do this, help me out please. If you go thru the backup wizard and schedule nightly backups, there’s a poroblem with not being able to find the specified tape. All I want it to do is overwrite the info on the tape with the new info, but we have 30-4- clients and I don’t have time to go into each one every night and run the backups manually. How do I change the properties of the scheduled event to just overwrite the tape and not stop to ask if I really want to do this, since there’s no one there to respond?
