Hi,
I having problem to read the tape detail in Symantec Backup Exec 15, it scan and show 0 bytes but unable to inventory the tape.

Are you:
1. Using the Symantec drivers for the tape drive? If not, use tapeinst.exe to install them;
2. Ensuring the robotics (if an autoloader/library) shows up as Unknown Medium Changer in Windows Device Manager?
3. Checking your device's diagnostic utility to ensure that it is not faulty?
Thanks!

Why are you not able to inventory the tape? What happens when you run an inventory job?
Why do 7 tapes show the same media label of "Wednesday"? I assume that you are not using a bar code reader since no bar codes are displayed. I would strongly encourage the use of bar codes as it offers many advantages in media management.

Hi CraigV,
Thanks for the reply. I am using Symantec driver to configure the tape drive. It was working initially but after I change some settings(I forgot what I mess up) and also remove the bar code rules.
I will try the tapeinst.exe and see if is working.
Thanks.

Hi Larry,

I cannot tell much from tiny JPGs, but "missed" sounds like a scheduling problem. What does the inventory job log say? What error number & message?
What tape library and drive are you using? Is it online and available? Your jobs sitting at ready imply your library isn't online.
