Hi David,
Thank you for posting here.
According to you description, I understand NTBackup can't see the media in
the tape device.
To have NTBACKUP use the available tape, you may use the "/um" switch which
is still available in Windows Server 2003.
When you use the /um switch, Backup searches the following media pools for
available media: Free pool, Import pool, Unrecognized pool, and Backup
pool. When available media is found, the search stops and the media is
formatted and then used without prompting you for input. This command is
not applicable to tape loaders and it is better to only use this switch if
you have a standalone tape device. The /UM switch should be at the end of
the command line and should not be enclosed in quotes.
For additional information, check the articles below:

I hope this helps. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not
hesitate to let me know. Thank you for your time and cooperation!

| HP ML350 Server with Internal DAT72 and SBS 2003
| Configured using wizard for daily backup up and all work well.
| Then, one day we got "Cannot locate the specified media or backup device.
| The backup operation will terminate", and scheduled backup reported as
Failed.
|
| It appears that it does then carry on doing the backup first creating a
| shadow copy then a backup. With a message in the log backup complete x
number
| of files, directories and bytes etc.
|
| Tried new tapes, cleaned and reinstall drive. No hardware faults
reported,
| Tried it manually and scheduled so results.
|
| Any thoughts
