Backup fails after replacing LTO 3 with LTO 6

Hi,

we are using Backup Exec 2010 R3 SP2 with a HP Library.

We are facing some problems with the backup since we had replaced out LTO 3 drive with an LTO 6 drive.

The job starts without problems, but when the first tape is full, the job stops ant we get the message, that the media is write protected.

 

E00084F8 - V-79-57344-34031

 

The hardware and Backup Exec are up to date and we installaed Hotfix 202063 (LTO 6 support).

 

Any ideas?

  • ...OK, and you're certain you're using the Symantec drivers? Use tapeinst.exe to install them if necessary.

    Have you also tried upgrading the firmware on the tape drive to eliminate that?

    Thanks!

    EDIT: Might be worth your while downloading and installing BE 2010 SP3 since that is out too!
