Retrospect says my DLTs are 'write protected' when they aren't


Recommended Posts

Retrospect keeps telling my DLT tapes are 'write protected'.

They aren't. I can't run a backup; I can't erase the tapes.

 

Kit:

xServe running OS X Server 10.2.5

Overland Express DLT LoaderXpress (Model LXL1B10)

I am using several different kinds of tape; they

 

I've tested different tapes with the record tabs in both positions.

The tapes aren't 'write protected' when using our other server, Retrospect, and single DLT deck.

I can't find any documentation relating to this from either Dantz or Overland.

I've also updated the Dantz driver to the latest version.

 

(I really wish I'd bought a couple Firewire drives. Anyone want to buy an autoloader - 4 hours of use - very cheap!)

 

Any help would be very much appreciated,
