HI. i hv the same problem but with sql 2000 and i posted it but nobody is answering. I hv sbs 2003 and i can see the tape drive in hardware profile but its not in computer managment => storage => disk managment (i think it should be there becaus dvd rom is there but i don't know if its true). i can see the tape in removable storages. when i'm trying to make a new backup drive i can't select the "tape" so the sql can't see the dat unit. I would like to know if it should be seen in "my computer" because i don't see it there. I hope someone answers my question early.
