How do i manage backup jobs on a Windows 2003 Server?
I am tasked with setting up a Windows type backup to 15 tapes which should run everyday in a 3 week rotation.
Other employees have attempted this but failed. How do I manage the existing jobs, namely how do I change the time at which they run and what is an easy way to setup the backup job described above?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Is there a centralized location where I can see the backup jobs and their attributes on a Windows 2003 Server?

It looks like my coworkers set this up so that there are 15 scheduled backup events, each corresponding to a M through F tape for a 3 week period, just as you have suggested. I noticed that the scheduler service could not start because it needs to be associated with an account with permission to perform this. I changed this and it runs when I test it.
If anyone can suggest some good reading on Windows 2003 Server backup stuff I would be greatful.
Thanks,
