I don't know what has happened, but at multiple locations I have a problem with Backup Exec 12.5 x86 showing the tape drive as offline at seemingly random intervals. This has only started happening since SP3 for 12.5 was installed. Checked with a colleague and he is coming across the same issue since 12.5 SP3. I really don't want to uninstall, reboot, reinstall, reboot, patch to SP2 and reboot again. Has anyone else come across this? The error I am getting is: Final error: 0xe000810c - Physical Volume Library Drive not available. Final error category: Backup Device Errors The technote (http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/290495.htm) says to check the account for the Backup Exec services. It's not that. The drive is offline. I can force the tape drive online, recycle the services and it seems fine....only to bomb again the next night, 2 nights, or 2 weeks later. I would think it's the drive, but it does it at three locations since SP3 was installed.
