Hello,

Since the Backup exec does not recognize the device perform the following preliminary troubleshooting steps:

-- Check if the device is compatible with Backup Exec v9.1
Refer the following technotes:

Backup Exec 9.x for Windows Servers Standalone Drives Hardware Compatibility List
http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/275247.htm

-- Backup Exec 9.x for Windows Servers Libraries (with Tested Drives) Hardware Compatibility List
http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/271383.htm

-- If the device is compatible and tested then install the latest Veritas device drivers using following technote:

VERITAS Backup Exec (tm) 9.1 - Device Driver Installer (20050115) - Includes Tape Driver Release (20041231) and Robotic Library Release (45) (Intel Only) http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/273853.htm
