I have a Sony AITi130/S (wide SCSI) tape drive running on SBS 2003. It works fine with 3rd party software, but media will not mount using ntbackup. Usually I get an error saying "Backup device is not responding. Please check to make sure the device is on, cables are connected." I have checked cables and termination and I find no reason why it would work with 3rd party software but not ntbackup.

Any suggestions?
