I created a batch file to run my backup each night. But, I cannot get the tape to "eject" after the backup. I tried this line, but it does not work... rsm eject /pf"4mm DDS"
Here is my batch file... C:\WINNT\system32\ntbackup.exe backup "@C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.DOMAIN\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows NT\NTBackup\data\Backup Daily.bks" /n "Full Dell System Backup" /d "Full Dell System Backup" /v:yes /r:no /rs:no /hc:on /m normal /j "Backup Daily" /l:s /p "4mm DDS" /um
What do I need to add to this batch to get the tape to eject? Thanks in advance for the help. -Rob
