ARCserve 11.5 is better as it supports Disk staging where you can back up to disk and use a policy like after 30 mins after backup copy the backup disk device to the locally attached tape device.
Yes, you need to change your backup source selection from static to dynamic.
This is shown by the green box on the volume selection. If you look at your backup job for that directory in the volume you will notice that the volume selection box is half shaded.
This means you have been selective...
If you are using a SAN and the Tape Library is local to the backup server then try the image option.
It by passes the OS and does block level backup..so the overhead in backing up small files is taken away.
You can select volume level backup but file scan for individual file restore.
You will...
Disable the device in Device manager that way we are sure that we aren't using any of those Windows Drives
Is the firmware up to what CA certified device list suggests?

I've seen 1 TERABYTE LOG FILES Happily be backed up and Restored from an LTO Drive.
I wouldn't have thought it is anything to worry about the tape drive manufacturers compression codes are good, I would hope it is compressed at hardware level not at software level...
What are you restoring?
Is it a file?
Is it a database?
It gives you that error message because there are security issues that you are trying to push the operating system to do that isn't normal.
These are tape sesssion ctf and tape header files header.ctf
That means you are backing up to disk rather than backing up to your tape device.
did you create a File system device?
Or did you want to backup to the tapedrive on the HPUX host or did you want
re-run csetup and take off your...
Aaaah
That is because you are bieng selective in your backup sources.
Try to make the selection dyncamic and use filters to exclude directories that you don't want to backup!
