I have some problems getting a Quantum DLT-V4 SATA Tape Drive to work with Backup Exec 11d. When trying to run inventory job, it keeps telling me that the tape drive if offline, disabled or paused. In Addition, it also complains about an mismatched device serial number. <br />
I have the tape drive connected to a Adaptec 1220SA SATA/RAID Controller. <br />
I have tried several solutions I found here and on Symantec's support, but nothing helped. <br />

<br />
Tape Drive in use right now is a replacement for another one of the same model that was returned under warranty. <br />
The tape drive works fine with NT Backup and the diagnostic tools from Quantum.. I tried using Backup Exec 10.1 before and had the same problem. &nbsp;<br />
Is there anything else I can do to get this working ?? <br />

Backup Exec - Quantum DLT-V4 Tape Drive offline, disabled or paused, mismatched serial numbers

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.
