In my backup scripts for Windows 2003 server we use rsm eject /LF"Library_id"
/Astart and it ejects the tapoe all the time.
When I send the same in Windows XP it says Additional arguments required. I
have no idea what additional arguments are required. It is an HP USB DAT 72
Tape Drive, and it works perfectly on a Windows 2003 server, but not on
Windows XP. I even tried the Guid and changing the command to /LG"GUID" but
it still says additional arguments required.
Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Hi,

Does your script know the friendly name of the physical media ? I use a
script that ejects using 'rsm eject /pf"[friendly name]" /astart ' and that
works ok here.

Regards,
David
