Eject a Tape in Windows 2000


Hello,

I have a backup scheduled using NTBackup that runs nightly to a standalone tape unit installed in the server running the backup.

All straightforward really.

On NT4, you could issue a "ntbackup eject" to pop the tape out at the end of the backup.

Is there a way to accomplish the same thing with Windows 2000.  Issue a command line command to the Removable Storage Manager somehow?

Thanks,

muff

Not in this case SuperCitrixMan, issuing "rsm eject" just returns asking for more options.

Well to be exact:

rsm eject /A

If you type in "rsm" you can see a list of commands, eject is one of them, so if you type "rsm eject" you see another list.  Hope that helps.
