Unable to see DLT7000 device on ntbackup

My DLT7000 is correctly installed and I see the free media allocated.

Once I start ntbackup it asks me for preparing the media since it was

used on a different computer.

 

Once that is done, I try to use the tape but, alas, the backup tab

only allows me to use file (grayed out).

 

As a consequence I am left without the capabilities to do a backup.

System is WS03SP2R2 and I was able to run a full backup a day ago.

 

Anyone has a clue on how to re-enable the usage of tape on ntbackup?

hello,

 

check that the "removable storage" service started ?

 

Is the new media in the free pool ?

When i used to backup with ntbackup, i always first format the tape and put

them manually in the free pool.
