Hi Marina
I just picked up your email reply to mine of 12 July. I
have been away for a period of time.
I am using SBS 2000 version 5.0 (Build 2195:Service Pack
4).
The back up tape drive has no name on the front but I
believe it to be Sony SDT 7000 SCSI Sequential device.
That is the information which appears under the heading
of "Physical Location" in the Window tree of Removable
Storage. I am using a 4mm DDS-90 Data Tape
branded "Imation".
Nothing which appears in the Event Viewer appears to
assist in any way.
I have tried everything I know to get the system to work
and have read all the data in the Help Line. I still get
the same message which I posted earlier. I know am
just "missing something" but I can't work out what!
With Warm Regards
Peter.
