tape backup applets
The built-in Tape Backup applet provided by Microsoft is called NTBackup. This
runs on the local server, and provides basic backup functionality to backup data
on drives (or Mapped Network drives) on the server.
The Windows NT 3.51 and NT 4.0 versions do not include Autoloader support, or
scheduling (although this can be done, with difficulty, using the Windows NT "at"
scheduler service - see the Windows NT Resource Kit for details).
Note - Ultrium high performance tape drives: As a general rule, native backup
applications (such as NTBackup and tar) do not provide the required data
streaming rate to get the full performance of your Ultrium drive. We recommend
using a backup application, which provides better memory management as well
as other useful features, such as TapeAlert. HP, Computer Associates, Veritas,
Legato and Yosemite all provide suitable products that have been tested with your
Ultrium drives. For the latest list of backup packages that support your Ultrium
drives, please contact your tape drive or library manufacturer.
