i used to use windows back-up running every night with the task scheduler but i went to check the tapes on the servers to make sure that the data was being backed up and i notice that it wasn't. It seemed to be something windows backup i have tried alot of things to get it to work with the task scheduler but no dice, so i installed VERITAS Backup Exec 8.0 and set it up to do the same thing.
If i go in and check i see that it did back-up but now i see all the green lights on the tape drives blinking they are all new drives with new tapes but i get this in the event log

2. Do not use this tape again.
3. Restart the operation with a different tape.

The tape is from a faulty batch or the tape drive is faulty:
1. Use a good tape to test the drive.
2. If the problem persist call the tape drive supplier helpline.
