network backup to DLT

  • I have two servers one housing a DLT drive and is running SQL 2000. I currently backup 3 DB's to this tape drive. I would like to backup a further 15 DB's on another server within the same domain to the same tape, appending the data, this server is also running SQL2000, does anyone have any clues? At present my sql script is as shows but unfortunately does not work:

    BACKUP DATABASE Isis_Testmeta

    TO TAPE = \\Tape0=\\testserver_04n\daily backups\ISIS_Testmeta_db_20026240201.bak

    WITH noFORMAT,

    NAME = 'Full Backup of Isis_Testmeta'

    GO

  • AFAIK, you cannot backup to a remote tape. Can you backup to a drive on the tape server and then use the Backup utility to get these files?
