Microsoft Backup won't append seperate backup files.
Microsoft Backup will not allow me to schedule a daily backup that creates individual files for each day that the backup runs.
I want it to run the backup each day and create a seperate file for each daily backup job.
I want to use Microsoft Backup because it allows me to backup the Microsoft Information Store in Exchange.

Can I make this work for a tape drive?
hmmz, as far as I know => NO
But don't you use different tapes for each day, if not: you should. It's dangerous having only one tape.

I'm sorry, I meant to ask you how can I get the software to append the file to tape without prompting me.
I have no idea... :-(
Glad to help
You can use a daily backup wich backups to one file (named daily_backup.bkf) and make a batch script wich you can run before:
del c:\old.bkf
ren c:\7.bkf c:\old.bkf
ren c:\6.bkf c:\7.bkf
ren c:\5.bkf c:\6.bkf
ren c:\4.bkf c:\5.bkf
ren c:\3.bkf c:\4.bkf
ren c:\2.bkf c:\3.bkf
ren c:\1.bkfc:\2.bkf
ren c:\daily_backup.bkf c:\1.bkf
