I'm trying to restore some files from a backup tape but I keep getting the same error. "The library is unable to load media at this time because the drive is in use". What does that mean?

Either that or the device is just hung. If you are able to - try rebooting and see if that clears things up.

Thanks to all I got it figured out. Still not sure what the problem was though.
