Greg is correct.."should an NTBackup of SBS onto a DLT tape be readable by
a
different SBS server that has a DLT drive?"
Let me clarify my question.
The tapes are Exactly the same tape, capacity and type. DLTtape IV, to be
exact. When blank the tapes can be read/write by either server or drive.
It is not a matter or reading a blank tape it is a matter of the other
server seeing the contents of the tape after a backup on server A, then to
restore on server B, they both have the same issue in this regard.
Thanks for the help,
Steve

Chace,
You completely missed his point. He has TWO tapes drives on TWO different
servers, both DLT, one is internal and one is external. He is not
attempting
to back up to a network tape device. That being the only difference
between
his two systems, he is asking why the tapes from one DLT cannot be read
on
the other DLT.
What Steve does not specify is the actual backup program in use. He
refers
to "normally using ArcServer" but does not say if that is what he is
doing
right now. Assuming he is using NTBackup, should an NTBackup of SBS onto
a
DLT tape be readable by a different SBS server that has a DLT drive?
Steve, are your DLT tape drives the same capacity? Can either drive read
the
tapes of the other, or can neither one read the other's tapes? Drive
capacities the same? Have you tried it with NTBackup?

Hi Steve
Thank you for posting.
Based on my experience. NTbackup can not backup files to a network tape
device. It's by design. I understand that this limitation may
inconvenience
our users and we apologize for the inconvenience you faced. In our
efforts
to continue to improve our products, you are welcome to add your
suggestions in Partner feedback newsgroup to make Microsoft products
easier
and more powerful to use.
Thanks for the understanding and have a nice day!
