Try this ,
first stop all backup & restore activity.
Then run command : nbrbutil -resetAll
You may have tape drive allocation that has not been released.

Solaris 8 & 9 are not supported a media servers in NetBackup 7.x

You might want to simply try resetting the medai server (versus resetAll).
Try:
nbrbutil -resetMediaServer [servername]
Also check for stale drive files under /usr/openv/netbackup/db/media/drives (these will cause drives not to be reallocated.
A file is stale when the bptm process associated with it is no longer active. You can cat the file to find the pid.
Or shutdown NetBackup and remove any 'leftover' files.

When you start any backups, look into the bptm logs. Since Master server in Solaris 10, tail the recent bptm log and observe for any discrepencies.
#tail -f log.xxxxx.
Also try to release the reservations on the drive.
#vmoprcmd -crawlreleasebyname <drivename>

Also, can you confirm whether backups were happening before?
if so,after what point this issue started? any upgradaton or Patching has been done?

Dear Mariane
I don't see the word busy I just see the status of the backup is hang and when I go into the details I just see saying waiting for the drive which is already free
but anyway thanks for all your replies
the solution was in the first reply in the command given by Nicolai
Thanks Nicolai and Thanks to all of you :)
