1) Did you install the Symantec drivers for this library? If not go to Tools --> Wizards --> Device Configuration Wizard to do so.
2) Power cycle your library followed by your server
3) Try backing up a small directory directly to tape.
4) Try a D-D-T job with the B2D folder on a normal disk drive, not on the SAN.

1) Did you install the Symantec drivers for this library? If not go to Tools --> Wizards --> Device Configuration Wizard to do so.
Yes the library is using the Symantec drivers
2) Power cycle your library followed by your server
The backup system is currently running, so i will give this a try in the morning, but i know the server its self has been power cycled (just not the library as well)
3) Try backing up a small directory directly to tape.
We run a differential during week days and some of those backups are only 1-2 gig in size and have the same issue as 2-3TB backups, although during a nightly backup some of the duplications will kick off very quickly (say a couple of mins), the duplications that kick off at a normal time seem to be random each time, and as yet i haven't been able to find a pattern if there is indeed one.
4) Try a D-D-T job with the B2D folder on a normal disk drive, not on the SAN.
I'll give this a try, although to be honest i hope its not the problem as we backup 3-4TB's each weekend and so need the space of the SAN to run a D-D-T.
Again, thanks for your help with this.

If you are running the duplicated backup from disk to tape , in that case only when the Original job finished backup exec will load the tape for the duplicate job ...make sure the original job is completed . before the duplicate job is started.
