I'm trying to back up a load of different backup files to a tape. I want to keep them seperate, i.e. not just in one large archive. However, after each write, the tape insists on rewinding. How is this prevented? Thanks for any help.. Rich. Associate Consultant - Internet Commerce Practice MDIS Professional Services MDIS Ltd. Boundary Way Hemel Hempstead Herts HP2 7HU Tel.
