If I schedule NTBackup to run a nightly job at a remote site, there are 
occasions when the people at that site will forget to load a tape, leaving 
the drive empty.

It appears that if this happens the NTBackup process sits there, presumable 
waiting for someone to press ok, which they can't as it's not running 
interactively.  If I then insert a tape it doesn't just start the backup, I 
have to kill the NTBackup process and run the job again with the tape in 
the drive.

Is there any switch or other way that will get around this?  The command I'm
calling is (it's an Exchange 5.5 server):

ntbackup backup DS \\server IS \\server /v /d "Full Backup" /b /t Normal /l
c:\winnt\backup.log /e

regards,
Paul
