Re: DAT-72 Backup Tape drive
The standard procedure is to power-cycle the server containing the drive, holding the eject button as it starts.

Re: DAT-72 Backup Tape drive
Sorry I should have included more info.
This is an internal SCSI tape drive.
The Server is an HP ProLiant ML350 G4 Server.
Tape drive is a HP DAT72 Digital Storage Works.
Tapes are HP DDS5 36/72GB.
Backup Software is Symantec Veritas Backup Exec 10 for windows Servers.
The tape drive light is blinking constantly.
I have tried holding in eject button for 20 to 30 seconds to no avail.
Should a restart force the ejection?

Re: DAT-72 Backup Tape drive
If it does not come out that way, log a support call for a tape drive replacement.

Re: DAT-72 Backup Tape drive
I will try these procedures and report my results.
The logs reported that the tapes had come to there end of life.
I purchased a new set of tapes and created a new set within Backup Exec.
It lasted about a week before the tape drive itself failed with a tape still in the drive.
I well let you know how I get on.

Thank you for your help and support.
