Hi ezlog,
I have sucessfully used Backup Exec 10 with several HP Tape Drives, One of which was a Dat72 USB. You should be fine using BE's own built in driver, i was!

Thanks for prompt response. So USB Tape is fine with Symantec. Is that correct/.

What I'd worry about is that Dat tapes and drives are generally pretty low quality and don't last very long. I'd use some other tape design.
