If you want to use a DAT Tapes for backup why not use the Backup utility that
comes with the default NT Server 4.0 installation.
To access that simply type in :-
Start -> Program -> Administrative Tools -> Backup
But make sure you have setup your DAT Tape Drive physically and you have got NT
server to probe your DAT Tape drive by going to : -
start -> control panel -> SCSI Tape -> (then it will detect your SCSI Tape
drive.
After all has been complete all you have to do is implememt
a Backup Procedure or policy.
Looking forward to your feedback.
