I am trying to replace the existing DVD-RAM drive with a new HP DAT72 Tape drive on the NCF III, after the new Tape drive is installed with the appropriate driver, the Windows XP O/S can recognise the new Tape drive, but the NICE Admin cannot see this tape drive in the backup device, anyone has experience on that?

hi the configuration in d:\ntlogger\logger\config will be expecting a DVD drive. A process called bsrv (backup server is responsible for picking up archive drives) check bugfind for errors start\programs\nicelog server\bugfind.
also logs in d:\ntlogger\logger\logs will show you whats going on.

my very personal opinion.
avoid tapes!
I have maintained several 7.x and 8.x machines and generally speaking, tapes are very risky of faliling when writing backups, or failing with retrieving them.
DVD-RAM are not flawless anyway, but are mechanically more resistant, and always faster
I would like that the nicelogs with tape could be upgraded to DVD-RAM
Thanks for reading.
