I have already run through tis technote:
http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/261993.htm

and everything is passing fine.

I also ran through a complete testing process for my HP Tape Drive and it has passed every test.

Anyone have any other suggestions?

FYI I have uninstalled and reinstalled the MS Hotfix to see if maybe something went wrong as I was not the admin who did the install of it the first time.

I will post updates after reboot and testing.Message was edited by:

Same exact error as before.

Please advise, I am going nuts over here and need these backups to start working.

Thanks
