rhegyi Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 (edited) Can someone help me with an issue of Retrospect 8.2 on Mac 10.5.8 trying to backup to a Exabyte VXA Packet loader. ( Sorry for the type-o in the header.) Retrospect sees the device, lets me erase the tapes, one by one. When I attempt to write data to the tapes it always give me a flashing question mark, select media. When I select one of the tapes it just keeps flashing...needs media. I even used the backup assistant and it added each tape as a member of the media set, 9 members. I say backup and it keeps saying needs media. Does this device need the advanced drive add on? If so, O.K. but why would it see tapes / Erase them but not write to them? If It's something I'm doing wrong, please let me know, but I've been working with 8.2 on other machines and backup devices and I haven't had these issues. thanks, Rick Edited July 28, 2011 by Rhegyi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
