brileigh Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 Hi, My Sony AIT tape drive died and I replaced it with a Quantum Dat72 (Model CD72LWH). The new drive works fine with Windows Backup NTBackup.exe. The drive is reported in Windows XP Hardware Device Manager as a Tape Drive model "IBM DDS Gen5 SCSI Sequential Device". The drive is reports in Retrospect 6.5.350 with Retrospect Driver release 5.5.1 (Storage Devices - Environment) as Vendor: "IBM" Product: "DDS Gen5" Version: "A1B0" Driver:<blank>. The Properties and Configure buttons are greyed out. The drive does not appear in the Retrospect Storage Devices - Status screen, and so is not available for use. In a move of desperation I installed ASPI through the Retrospect aspiinst.exe utility, and that did not have any effect, except that in the Storage Devices - Environment tab it now says "Devices visible using ASPI" rather than the previous "Devices visible using [something esle I can;t exactly remember]" I hope that I do not have to resort to backing up with NTBackup, is there a way to solve this problem Regards Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
