Jumpmail Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 I am using MultiServer 6.0 on Windows 2000 Server and have been using it for a while just fine. However, when I came in Tuesday morning I noticed that my backup was asking for me to insert a new tape. Assuming the tape was full, I tried inserting the new tape but retrospect does not show the tape. It just says (Empty) in the devices window. I am using a Benchmark SV80 Drive and it is on the compatibility list. I have tried rebooting and using another tape but have had no luck. The tape that was in there had less than 2GB of data on it so it wasn't really full. I can see the new tapes in the windows removable storage MMC snap-in, but it just shows (Empty) in the drive no matter what I do. Another thing that is odd is that the tape drive status says "Reserved". I'm not sure if it has always said that or not, but it seems odd. I didn't see anything listed in the help file about it. Any Ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 Hi Removeable storage manager should be disabled and the Windows drivers for the device in Device Manager should be disabled too. Retrospect has it's own drivers. The Windows drivers can get in the way. Thanks Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
