Have Windows Small Business Server 2003 running BE 10.0.5484 SP6.
Have run with Dell LTO/2 drive (Certance type) for 1 year. Have now bought second Dell LTO/2 drive that is in fact a Tandberg drive.
Tandberg drive is recocgnised by BE and runs single drive jobs no probelms.
Created cascaded Drive pool with the two drives and jobs will not overflow from one to the other. Tape 1 runs on the Certance and then the system asks for another tape in the same drive despite valid tape being in the Tandberg.
On system stratup get the following for the Tandberg drive:
