In Windows, the backup system uses the Windows backup utility to create checkpoints on tape. This utility allows you to back up on multiple tapes. The program prompts you for more tapes as needed during the checkpoint procedure.

The backup uses the commands in the following batch file:

You can tailor these commands to meet your needs (for example, to meet local conventions such as tape labeling).

For detailed information on backing up to tape, please see your Windows documentation on backup utilities.
