I have a media server running Windows 2003 SP2 that has an LTO-2 tape drive attached to it through SCSI which I have been using without a problem. I have recnetly installed another LTO-3 tape drive on a remote Active Directory server with Windows 2003 SP2 and I want to be able to backup to both tape drives. However, I can't seem to get the tape drive on the remote server to communicate with the media server.
 
Can someone shed some light on what I need to do.
 
Thankyou,
Justin

It can't be done. Backup Exec can only use local tape drives (unless they're on a SAN).
You need to either connect the second tape drive to your BE server, or get a second copy of BE for the second server.
