I really hope someone can help with this:
I'm trying to get a Quantum HH LTO 4 Tape drive to work with a Windows 7 Workstation using Symantec Backup Exec 2010 for Windows Servers.
Will this work? Or is there a Workstation Version?
It looks like it might work but the system check says I have the wrong driver for tape drive, though it recognises that the Tape drive is actually there.
Does anyone know what Symantec driver I need?

Win 7 as a media server is not supported by any version of Backup Exec
Refer to SCL of BE2010 R3 http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH137682

Any alternatives?
Seems strange that the only warnings I get on the Environment check are missing Anti Virus, missing Endpoint protection Manager Check and the Driver I mentioned before.
Looks pretty close to working...

Once i tried installing BE on Win 7, never got the services running.
Even if it works Symantec wont help you in case you come across any issues in future.

Ok, thanks very much for replying though and thanks for letting me know you'd tried it too.
