Travan (ShureStore) T20 (internal) driver

[DeWayne Clinton]

I have a tape drive installed in a W2K server.
I wnat to back up files on that server only. Nothing special, nothing across the LAN, etc.
I am trying to use Microsoft Backup (comes with 2K server) however can not seem to find the correct driver. The HP site has many listed but none seem to be the exact fit. The side of my drive says model TXXXi. I installed what windows wants to use for the drive but when I insert a tape it runs for awhile and then stops. When I go into backup the tape tools is grayed out and the app tells me there is no media. Please help
Thanks DeWayne

Hi DeWayne,

You said you're using the native backup on Win 2k. HP recommends a 3rd party backup software. Try using Colorado Backup 2 Version 9.0. You can download from this link.

You may also need to run diagnostics. Search for Tape Assure on HP.com and run it.

Good luck

This does not work. Colorado II 9.0 will not install on W2K Server error reads "HP Colorado II will not install on NT Server"

DeWayne,

Didn't you say you've win 2k?

In any case, you can also try BackupMyPc from Stompinc.

Here is the link

Thatâ s Correct CBII software does not work on Servers.
You will need to try another software i.e.: Tapewa

[Munir_1]

i.e. Tapeware
