Can you see the backup device in device manager?

And can you see the backup device inside computer management - > Removable storage?

Can you see the backup device in device manager?

are you mean in SQL server 2005 itself or from the windows OS?

And can you see the backup device inside computer management - > Removable storage?

You can try to backup SQL server database to disk (bak file).
Then backup the filesystem to the tape.

can i have the solutions to do backup using the device through SQL server?
i need this solutions as i can tell my boss. currently we are doing the backup method as you mentioned: backup to disc then following by tapes.
