Article #25161: Scheduling GBAK with NT's AT command (using a tape device as destination media)

Problem:
How to automate GBAK and backup to a DAT TAPE drive

Solution:
To BACKUP to a DAT TAPE drive:

	d:ibbingbak -b -t -y gbak.out d:dbsmydb.gdb .tape0
	-user "SYSDBA" -password "*********"

	NOTE:
	It should be noted that the if you are going to backup to tape 
	with IB that the tape is now in IB format and hence the NTBACKUP 
	facility will not recognize it.  

	To include an IB bkup on a normal backup tape, you must first backup to disk.  
	After which, the .gbk file can be appended to a standard NTBACKUP.
