Author NTBackup - most recent files first

Hi,

I'm using NTBackup with a cmd file.
The cmd file is triggered by the task Scheduler every night at 11 p.m.
That's working fine.


But I have a problem getting Windows to save the right files first.
The number and size of my folders varies greatly from day to day and week to
week.
Sometime the tape can't take it all and gets ejected and I have no automatic
tape loader.
That's no big hassle if - and only if -I can be sure that I have the most
recent folders on the tape.

But NTBackup seems to have a default behaviour of saving the oldest folders
first.
So when the tape gets overloaded and ejected the most recent folders are not
saved.

Is there a switch somewhere that I can use to do inverse the default order
so that the most recent folders are saved first?
Or a registry hack ?

Any help appreciated.
TIA

AMD.
