Cannot inventory tapedrive

Hi, I use BackupExec 12.0. I cannot inventory my tape drive anymore. I ran a local backup job an it reaches the end of the tape. I was asked to put in another tape but I decided to cancel the job...

Thanks for reply.

When I try to inventory, after some minutes the job status changes to "connection delayed". After some more minutes I get the message that the job fails because the system service of the backup exec job engine is not respponding.
I deleted the drive and after restarting it comes back. Tried to inventory but same behavior. Same with second drive.
I have installed latest symantec drivers. RSM service is not started.

I was able to perform a backup job now with changing the target settings to overwright the tape. But I still cannot inventory even this tape.

Thanks

Fred
