Holy Haiku, Batman! Excellent job! And very nice footnote, too! In your batch file, try separating out each of the drive letters on their own line and using the /a switch to append to the same tape.

When /a is not specified, the program overwrites previous data. When more than one drive is specified but /a is not, the program overwrites the contents of the tape with the information from the first drive selected and then appends the backup sets for the remaining drives. Exchange alone works Combination doesn't work Drives alone bite too NTSP6 Ex55Sp4 hotfixes as well makes no difference running comand line or bat any help out there? Thanks, Paul [1] in Japanese, the word "haiku" has 3 syllables = ha-i-ku deal with it -Mich�le Sharik, October 26, 2001 _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
