Tape drivers for ASR Restore (HP Storageworks Dat 72 internal USB)

[miles thompson]

Hi there,

I am trying to do a ASR restore using this drive, but when the backup process tries to load the tape it can't because the ntbackup doesn't recognise the tape drive.

I've found the solution to this problem on microsoft's site kb887494
which guides you through adding any necessary drivers required.

The problem is, I can't find the drivers for this drive. There's none on the support page for the tape drive, and as far as i can tell the driver comes with windows...??

Any ideas?!

Hi,

did you try these?

http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&taskId=115&prodSeriesId=316234&prodTypeId=12169&objectID=c00211981

Of course, after following details finded in MS KB, they worked for me. It seems that they are the only drivers available for DAT72.

Also, even if probably it was not necessary, I decided to put HP DAT 72 Drivers pressing F6 keys, just in case it was not enough....
