I just posted this a couple of days ago, but here it is again. It labels whatever tape is in the drive and does a backup to it.
Use the GUI to create the backup selection file "everything.bks". Obviously, you want this file to include your Exchange information stores. Change the "BNCHMARK DLT1 SCSI Sequential Device" to whatever the name of your tape drive is. See Q267574. This batch file needs grep, recode, and blat. Use your favorite search engine. rem ***************************************************************** rem * rem * Perform fullback to whatever tape is in the drive and email rem * report rem * rem * Ken Cornetet - 06/10/2002 rem * rem * Revision History rem * rem * When Who What rem * --------------------------------------------------------------- rem * 06/10/2002 Ken Cornetet Original Issue rem * 06/24/2002 Ken Cornetet Added RSM command per Q267574 rem * rem ***************************************************************** set [EMAIL PROTECTED] set SMTP=ntserver1 set NAME=FULL BACKUP %DATE% %TIME% rem this is where NTBackup writes it's (unicode - blech) logs set LOGS=%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows NT\NTBackup\data c: cd \backup rem Delete any extranious log files del "%LOGS%\backup*.log" rem ************************************************************ rem * Have removable storage management look at tape in drive rem * (See Q267574 for details) rem ************************************************************ start /wait rsm refresh /lf"BNCHMARK DLT1 SCSI Sequential Device" c:\bin\sleep 30 rem ************************************************************ rem * Do Backup rem ************************************************************ start /wait ntbackup backup @c:\backup\everything.bks /M normal /J "%NAME%" /P DLT /N "%NAME%" /l:s /HC:on /UM /D "%NAME%" rem ************************************************************ rem * find newest (should be only) log file rem ************************************************************ dir /s /b /o-d "%LOGS%\backup*.log" >c:\backup\backup.tmp set /P FILE= <c:\backup\backup.tmp rem ************************************************************ rem * Make ASCII version of log file rem ************************************************************ c:\bin\recode -f unicode..us <"%FILE%" >log.txt rem ************************************************************ rem * Append list of open files to the report rem ************************************************************ echo **************** OPEN FILES ************************ >>log.txt net file >>log.txt rem ************************************************************ rem * Set subject for email rem ************************************************************ set SUBJ=Backup ran OK grep -v "Error: You do not have permission" > log1.txt findstr /i error: log1.txt if not ERRORLEVEL 1 set SUBJ=Backup ran - FAILED rem ************************************************************ rem * Send email rem ************************************************************ c:\bin\blat log.txt -t %RECIPIENT% -subject "%SUBJ%" -server %SMTP% -f %RECIPIENT% rem ************************************************************ rem * Move log file to our directory rem ************************************************************ move /Y "%FILE%" c:\backup -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -=-=-=-=-= -----Original Message----- From: Pfefferkorn, Pete (PFEFFEPE) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, September 04, 2002 11:24 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: NT 2000 backup of Exchange. Exchange 5.5 SP4 under NT 2000 SP2. Well we have our first 2000 server up running Exchange 5.5 SP3. I'm trying to get the backups to run similar to what I had with NT 4.0. With the 4.0 version I had the cmd set to initialize any tape in the drive, backup and eject and mail the logs for verification. With 2000 I used the wizard to create the backup but I can't seem to get it to grab any tape I have inserted. I tried adding multiple tapes to the media pool with the same name, but I always get "The operation was not performed, no storage media was specified" message on the report. What am I missing? There must be a simple way to say any tape in there grab it and use it for a backup.
