Hello,
It seems that the tape drive HP DAT 72 is not detected in Backup Exec - Devices tab.
Have you installed the Veritas latest drivers ?
Is the tape drive well detected by Winodws ? If it is not then you need to ensure that it is detected by Windows so as Backup Exec will be able to see it.
Can you please tell us, if the tape drive is shown offline or not seen at all in Backup Exec Devices tab.
Kindly update.
Regards,
