Do you know anything about Backup Exec 8.8 NT.I am "trying" to set up a bakup schedule that will backup my *.mdb files (90MB)every weekday night @ 5:30PM.I want the files not to overwrite each other until the following weekday ie:Monday 01/01 remains on tape until the following Monday 07/01.This enables me to have an offsite copy of the previous 5 days data.I have set the schedule up but on the second night it started to load and then hung.If I choose run now from menu it is fine.I originally tried to do this to bakup every 3 hours but when it ran it locked all users out of database.Great.Any help appreciated + thanx for your time.

I use Veritas also . (backup exec ... whatever) .... there is a way to do this .. first you need to have a media set with the appropriate number of days or weeks until they are considered "scratch media" then set the backup options to "append" ...

email me if you have any questions ...
