I've been using a Seagate DDS4 drive for some time and have many tapes, however recently it broke down.
I've repaced the drive with a HP DDS4 C5683, which appears to have been a mistake!
The HP will backup and restore new data perfectly, but it will not read the old Seagate backups properly. It starts to read the backup, but then fails with a 'media or hardware' error.
Is there any known incompatability between Seagate and HP DDS4 drives? I'm using the XP backup utility.
