Re: Tape Drive issue

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Hi AKG,

Thanks for using the SBS newsgroup! Also thanks for Allan's input.

For your description, I understand that you failed backup on the SBS 2003
server box. If I am off base, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Based on my research, this issue can occur if the internal Removable
Storage Manager (RSM) database is corrupted. This corruption prevents media
pools from being created or accessed. To resolve this issue, use the
following method to manually initialize an uncorrupted RSM database.

a. Start the Computer Management tool, double-click Services and
Applications, and then click Services.
b. Locate and stop the Removable Storage service (or change the startup
type from Automatic to Disabled), and then restart the computer.
c. Start Windows Explorer, open the %SystemRoot%\System32\Ntmsdata folder,
and then rename the existing files in this folder so that they have an .old
file extension, or copy the files to a different folder.
d. Restart the Removable Storage service (or change the startup type from
Disabled to Automatic), and then restart the computer.

After the RSM restarts, it creates a new database.

Then please try to backup again, how about the result?

Hope it helps! I am happy to be assistance of you and look forward to your
reply!

Merry Chrastmas!

Sincerely,

Jenny Wu
