hi gurus, how do i put file names for tape backup.
let's say i had 5 tapes, i label Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
Then on windows server backup i want also the labels as file names, so i put the tape Monday, i will also select on the windows backup Monday.
How do i put file names on windows backup?
Thanks for any input.
Every second counts..make use of it.

If you are using windows builtin backup solution, you are using ntbackup ;)
This could be tricky to manage tapes with names in ntbackup.
I had this problem few years before. I will search through my documentation today and let you know how I reslolve this problem.
