    Backup Exec Database in the Backup Exec / Data folder. However, it is not recommended to manually access it or make any changed.

    "Media location - offline" - This means that the Tape are not there in the Robotic Library. If you are sure that they are perform an Inventory in Backup Exec. Even after the inventory is performed if the Tape shows Offline, then it is not present in the RL.

    Go to the Devices tab and confirm from the slots as to what tapes are present in the RL.

    Also, Have you confirmed this yet?

    "Ensure from the Windows Device Manager that the Tape drives are using Symantec Drivers and the Medium changer is using Microsoft Drivers"

Those "disobedient" tapes were present within the "Devices" tab in their slots at all times. They only decided for themselves to show up under "offline" media location in the "Media" tab...but as I said, the problem could be solved with "Catalog" on those tapes...and I am sure, that You are right: You could do this with "Inventory" as well

I won't do that. Just to understand, how BE works...thanks!
