    But tapes are defined as DLT. Correct densitype for the tapes to HCART2  and backups will work

    You don't have media of the correct type the robot / pool specified in SLP duplication destination. Check SLP config and output of available_media script on the master server.

    So, you have a tape library (robot ) with a couple of tape drives, right? Do you have tapes (media ) in the robot? Have you added the tapes to NBU by running an Inventory?

    Did you follow this document ishita_rao ?

    Symantec NetBackup 7.6 Device Configuration Guide

    http://www.symantec.com/docs/DOC6468

    Can you also do a tpconfig -d and tell us the output ?

    Do you have tapes in the robot?

    You add them in NBU by running Inventory in Media section of the GUI.
    If you want media to go to specific pools and not to the default NetBackup pool, you need to select 'Advanced Options ' once you have selected Update Robot Configuration, then add Barcode Rules.

    If all of this is new to you, you may want to read the Inventory chapter (chapter 9) in NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume I .

    You need Netbackup training  - there are free online classes to take. Netbackup can be complex until you understand the concepts
