You need the latest BE drivers, <a href="http://support.veritas.com/docs/285593" rel="ugc">http://support.veritas.com/docs/285593</a>. To uninstall run tapeinst.exe to remove current drivers, reboot, cancel any windows driver requests as these may put the old drivers on. Then apply the drivers with program above.<br />
<br />
Also BE doesn't interact with the removable storage service very well, it's best either to disable the devices from within removable media or to stop the service completely.

I'm trying to get a PX502 tape library to come up in Backup Exec ver. 10.1 Rev 5629 on Win2003 R2<br />
<br />
It has an DLT-S4 Tape drive in it and both the library and drive appear in Removable Media inside Computer Management but it won't show up in Backup Exec. The tape drive itself shows up but the library won't. I tried disabling both in removable media and I tried each combination and still nothing is found in Backup Exec even with reboots in between. <br />
<br />
I'm all out of ideas and wondering if there is a special driver for it to detect the robotic library? &nbsp;

PX502 with Backup Exec 10d

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.

Storage Software

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
