I'm fairly new to backup exec, and have been learning as I use it. For one of the companies we do some work for, their tape drive is being replaced with a Harddrive enclosure with removable bays so that 6 Harddrives can be swapped in for 3 backups per week for 2 weeks (basically replacing the 6 tapes they had doing the same function). The problem I am having is getting these drives set up in Backup Exec properly. All drives have been initialized and formatted NTFS ahead of time. In backup exec, I tried adding a new Removable Backup-to-Disk Folder, pointing to the drive letter for the first drive. It ran inventory just fine and found a new media Item. In the media tab, I created a new media set and moved the media object to it. Problem is, I can't seem to use it. I can't create a new catalog, it gives me a Physical Volume Library Drive Not Found error. The media shows up as having 0 available capacity (its a 160GB HDD). I tried running a test backup on it, and it just errors out with no description as to why. Chances are, I'm not setting this up properly, and there is some step I am missing, but I have been unable to find any information on what that something might be. Again, I am somewhat new to this, so thats probably the reason I am having problems. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I did try moving the media to retired and back, then to retired and deleting it and trying a regular Backup-to-Disk folder, but then I never got any media, even after running inventory.
