Veritas Backup Exec -- Adding new tape drive.

Tape backup drive

I am adding a second tape backup drive to my Windows 2003 server.   (Not installed yet. Arrived today)
The new drive is an 80/160 DLT tape drive.  The old is 40/80 DLT.  I use Veritas backup exec.  
The backup job currently has  Destination --> Device and Media --> Device "All Drives"

What steps do I need to take to have backup exec use the new drive as the primary?

Is there anything else I may want to consider when installing the new tape drive?Start Free Trial
