Re: Backup Runner Problems



FWIW Here is a log from one that worked. The diff I see is when it starts
enumerate'ing librarys. I wondering if you have mutiple tape drivers
loaded/installed and it is trying to use one that is attached to nothing.
(if that makes any sense)

I would look in the removable storage managment stuff and see if you had any
extra/orphaned Tape drives. Also look in device manager show hidden
devices. Reboot the server and check the event logs and see if any tape
drivers are failing to load.
