So I'm using a Seagate STT20000A Tape Drive with Veritas<br />
4.2.1 Software and Sony Travan 20 tapes as system backup for a small 4 station network. &nbsp;This drive doesn't seem to show up in Windows Explorer, so how do I know if it really is working ? &nbsp;Is there a way to peek into the tape to see file names etc ? &nbsp;Take me to school on this situation (I need some &quot;hand holding&quot;). We seem to be struggling along but everything seems to be working, but how do we really know ?
