I can't format my tape when I want it done. how to solve this problem? Thank you in advance PS: I use Retrospect express 6.5 ------------------------------------------- IN FRENCH Bonjour, Mon problème est que je ne désire plus utiliser RETROSPECT mais celui-ci à transformer toutes mes bande en TYPE inconnue. Je ne peut plus les utiliser avec d'autre logiciels de sauvegarde (seule RETROSPECT fonctionne). Je ne peut pas les formater (l'action est grisé). Comment régler ce problème, merci d'avance. PS : J'utilise RETROPSECT express 6.5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mayoff 124 Report post Posted August 26, 2009 Retrospect does not write any type of special header to the tape. Every backup program does use different writing method but other software should be able to erase those tapes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
