Hello altmiket 

It looks like media / image ownership has changed to a server which probably do not have tape drives installed..

You can simply change ownership of Tapes to the appropriate server with following commands

bpmedia -movedb -m media_id -newserver SERVER_WITH_TAPEDRIVE -oldserver oldservername
