I little more research and I think I've found what seems to be the perfect
solution (hopefully this isn't one of those cases where it becomes apparent
after a while that it is not perfect). All I need to do with ntbackup is add
the command line switch /UM to the end of the command line in task
scheduler. So far this seems to work no matter what tape I put in the drive.

I found a tip that created a batch file to do this but I'm not sure what
this tip does that using /UM doesn't?
