Re: NTBACKUP Problem

 

Hello snakesboy,

 

Did you check that the tape is compatible with the tapedrive? I had this

with a HP Library, it was only able to reed old tapes and for writing i needed

a newer version of the tape.

 

Best regards

RE: NTBACKUP Problem

 

Hy, I had a problem like this one in a Windows 2003 server and it was solved

following these steps:

1) Stop the RSM process;

2) Rename the directory c:\windows\system32\NtmsData to OldNtmsData

3) Start the RSM process and wait the tape library finish its inventory.

Don't use any other management software to acess the library. It may put the

library in a loop process when used together with RSM.

 

After the inventory has been concluded, go to NTBackup utility and try to

backup something.

 

In my case, I'm still trying to solve the restore problem, it gives me the

message:

 

Restore Status

Operation: Restore

 

Error: The device reported an error on a request to read data from media.

Error reported: Hardware failure.

There may be a hardware or media problem.

Please check the system event log for relevant failures.

 

----------------------

 

I hope this helps you.

 

Joe.
