Tape drive is seen, but unavailable


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I have Retrospect Express 5.0.238 on a 867 MHz G4 with OS X 10.2.6; with Driver Update, version 3.6.106.

My backup device should be a HP SureStore DAT8e and it's connected through a Power Domain 2930CU card.

"Should", because I can't use it with Retrospect.

 

I've read that this drive is qualified, and the SCSI card is supported, too.

But I only see the drive in the "Device status" window and not in the "Storage devices" window.

 

The only "warning" I saw, browsing Dantz's site, is "you should not connect a narrow device to a wide adapter" and vice-versa. That's my case: wide to narrow cable.

Is this "should" a "must not", in my case? Should I go back to OS 9?

 

Thanx,

Ermanno Polli

Thank you for the answer. I had a private mail, too.

I got the Retro. expr. from my institution. I found the CD disk (and license) in our main store and I took it. No manuals. I installed it and returned the CD. That's all.

I'll try to get the desktop version, but I foresee a long fight with our bureaucracy. :-(

 

Thanks, all.
