Inventory fails with new tapes
Hi All,
I have Backup Exec 2010 R3 running on Windows Server 2008 R2. I have had no problem running inventories in the past. However I just received new HP LTO-4 Ultrium RW tapes, and the inventory fails every time. I am not the most knowledgable with backups, so I apologize in advance.
I looked up what the problem could be and it stated something about the barcode scanning being turned on. I checked the properties and it was NOT turned on.

The adamm.log shows that you are using an LTO2 drive, which CANNOT read anything newer than that. So, you may use LTO1 media or LTO2 media. That is all.
