NTBackup Utility in SBS 2003 does not recognize tape drive

sbs 2003 on new dell server. I have veritas 10d quick start edition that we purchased with the server. I am not finding any articles on backing up exchange 2003 using veritas and what to exclude. However, I see posts on using NTBackup utility to backup exchange. I tried to do that but NTBackup does not recognize the tape drive and only allows me to backup on hard drive. Why is it doing that? I can run regular file backup fine using veritas and the tape drive but have been failing from ntbackup.

I bought the quickstart edition 10d for SBS when we bought the server from Dell. It was only 50 bucks...so I am thinking that it did not come with agents...so I bought an upgrade from CDW.
you may be correct as the "QuickStart" tag and $50 is a lot different to what I got !

If the upgrade is to SBS Std then all should be ok.

What tape drive have you connected ?  (Make & Model)
To what controller ?
