Simple way to eject tapes?

[godfra]

Hi all,

I have a backup script that runs using NTBACKUP every night on a W2K server box.

There is only one tape drive in the machine. All I want is a simple command that will eject whatever tape is in the drive. I do not want to have to specify physicalmedia id, friendly name, GUID, any of that rubbish.

All I want is a straightforward "whatever's in there, eject it" type command.

Can anyone help me at all?




Anyone?!?

REM Set library GUID (to get this number use 'rsm view /tlibrary /guiddisplay')
REM ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
set drvguid=YourDriveGUIDGoesHere

rsm refresh /lg%drvguid%
FOR /F "usebackq" %%i IN (`rsm view /tphysical_media /cg%drvguid% /b /guiddisplay`) DO set x=%%i
rsm eject /pg%X% /astart
