I have checked for depending jobs and selection lists?
It is a shared device. It was shared with my old backupserver. Tips?! Ideas?!

Have you migrated Backup Exec to a new server?
Have you tried running Tapeinst.exe to remove unused devices from BE console?

Yes I have tried that.
But I still can see my old tapedevice.

Hi,
Run tapeinst.exe and choose the option to delete devices that no longer exist.
Thanks!

Assuming you are using BE 2012, this sounds like a known issue.

Hi Xodar,
Check for Ghost devices by opening a command prompt and typing set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1 then enter
Type start devmgmt.msc note: for Windows 2008 right click and run as administrator
In Device Manager, in the view menu , click show hidden devices then check your system volumes for any ghosted disk storage devices.
to remove: click unistall
In the Backup Exec GUI restart the Backup Exec services

Thanks Imosla but I do not see any tape devices or other devices that should not be there.
The search goes on!
