Re: W2K Backup Utility doesn't see the tape drive
Once you have done this, you can open coputer management, go to RSM and select Physical Locations, then choose the drive. If you can't see any media loaded in the media group, or the device group shows the status of the drive as empty, hit the F5 key to refresh, then it should say that you have New, Unprepared media in the drive. To use the tape, you need to prepare it. (Right click on unprepared media and choose prepare) You will need to do this for any addtional media in the autoloader you want to use as well. Once you have prepared at least one tape, you can open the Backup Utility and you should have another option now for destination location. The only thing that sucks about this whole new RSM is that there is this whole big deal about preparing and labeling media now. Infact running an unattended backup won't work for us because of some bug in the ntbackup.exe file. (The ntbackup.exe file included w/ Windows 2000 SP1 is outdated as well) you need a file ver. of 08-05-00 or newer to fix this bug however Microsoft hasn't released it yet because it hasn't been fully regression tested. If you can't run an unattended backup go to this MS knowledgebase article for more info on Scheduled backups failing.
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q267/5/74.asp?ln=EN-US&SD=gn&FR=0&qry=NTBACKUP&rnk=30&src=DHCS_MSPSS_gn_SRCH&SPR=WIN2000
Or if for some reason, this address doesn't work (because it is long and rediculous) the article number on the knowledge base is Q267574.
I just want to know why the Autoloader won't automatically load tape 1 once the media library has been loaded into the drive. The HP sure Store 2100 is a outdated but nice Autoloader that just took the mdia right in and as soon as the backup is run nightly, it would just load the media right up! Now there is too many problems created by introducing this new RSM into the picture. There is too much management for such a simple process like backups!!!

Re: W2K Backup Utility doesn't see the tape drive
The interesting thing is that Veritas Backup Exec works just fine, however the customer insists on using the W2K backup. Any suggestions?
Thanks
